Ten rules for dm conduct

[jasper]

DMs rules of conduct.

0. I will find a group that fits my gaming style.

1. I will know the rules.

2. I will keep any house rules printed out for all to know and see.

3. When I make a mistake, I will tell the players and make the correction either in or outside the game as necessary.

4. I will listen to rules challenges and then give a fair judgment.

5. I will not bring out of game problems into the game.

6. I will be fair to all players.

7. I will be reasonable about using NO. But will use no as necessary.

8. I will tell my gamers my views alignment and play accordingly.

9. I will not be abused.

10. I will realize it is only a game.

BTW I don't like the wording of rule 10.

D&D isn't just a game it's the game.

Point of clarification.

Rule 0, as everyone knows, is "the DM is always right."
