[QUOTE="Acid_crash, post: 1896323, member: 16278"] I think that this topic should get published in a book somehow, and calling it D&D for Dummies just might work. Or, something like the Laws of Common Sense that You Should Have Learned as a Child. Or...something... but I have been in a many number of rpg sessions, primarily D&D (because that is the one i have played most so I'm not comparing gaming groups of different games, I'm sure they all share some of this in common), but in most groups many people lack these rules of common sense. I've seen complete lack of respect to the DM, players coming over to my house when I used to DM expecting me to also deliver on dinner because it was my place (and whenever I did ask them to chip in, they would bring just enough food for themselves...that pissed me off sometimes), players never calling to say they will be late -- or worse, miss the game entirely. Players that did smell, and never seemed to shower -- or use soap -- when the group mentioned it to that person. Players that tipped the dice constantly, or pre-set the dice when they say far enough away from the DM so the DM couldn't see their dice rolls completely... I found out from another player that the player who cheated like this had pre-rolled some dice, but also rolled a die whenver asked but just said off the number on the pre-rolled die. What kind of crap is that? This advice should be in every PHB simply because many players either forget, or just lack, the social graces involved in playing these games. [/QUOTE]
