[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2224276, member: 8944"] Those are links to pornography. Not really. I'm an idiot - those are fonts that I used in the word document that I have, and you don't (so they just show up as gibberish or blacked text something similar). They're just section headers. I'll attach a pretty .pdf version in a bit, so you can see them. Actually, you do. You'll need to sign over power of attorney in order to game properly from now on. ;) After having gone for about 20 months on something loosely similar to "have fun but don't be an ass" (and encountering a number of the items that these should prevent), I thought codifying expectations for how I wanted to be treated when *I* GM, and how I would treat any of you all when *you* GM might be in order. That being said, I really only expect these rules to heavily impact the gaming portion of our relationships (and really, only when I'm in the GM's chair). You are (of course) free not to use them when the head of the coffee table is yours. But I think they'll be helpful. I've heard of similar items a number of times, and though I've never really felt the need to implement them before now. I think that we've had a hard time communicating expectations as we've all come from different backgrounds. We had more baggage from other groups coming into this one, as for many of us this is really just the second or third big gaming group we've been a part of.
