[QUOTE="delericho, post: 7496983, member: 22424"] Hmm. Turns out I had more than I thought... 1) We're here to play. If you want to be here and want to play the game, you're welcome! If you [i]don't[/i] want to be here, the door is over there. 2) This game is open to anyone who wants to play. Racist, sexist, or bullying behaviour won't be accepted. (Caveat: you [i]can[/i] play a [i]character[/i] who is racist, sexist, or whatever, but see rule 3.) 3) Your character is your responsibility. Whether you're playing a Chaotic Evil Assassin, a holier-than-thou Paladin, or anything in between, you can choose to play your character in a way that makes the game more fun for others, or less fun. If you choose the latter, you're out. (As stated in one of the top replies to this thread, "I was just playing my character" is not an excuse for being a jerk.) 4) Rape and child abuse will not feature "on screen". Even in an otherwise no-holds-barred evil campaign, those two topics are strictly off-limits - there's too much real-world trauma associated with them, and you [i]don't[/i] know where everyone else around the table is coming from. 5) Each game will have an agreed age limit (which defaults to a nice steady PG-13, but may vary). Moderate your behaviour accordingly. That goes double if playing in a public place. 6) Get on with it! We don't have long to play, and I'd rather spend that time actually playing than waiting on you choosing the absolutely perfect action for your character. A recent addition: 7) If another player describes an action, you [i]can't[/i] immediately jump in with the statement "before he does that I'll..." and describe an action to negate or prevent what he was doing.
