Having rules that help, like the classed NPCs in a community rules in 3e.-Determining how NPCs would react to PC actions, and seeing the PCs making those same determinations and planning accordingly.-Having a vast, robust rules toolbox to deploy as I will both as a player and a DM.-Having choices made during character building have meaningful consequences.-System mastery, and being rewarded for it.-A good battle.-Mechanics for social interactions.Unfun:-Rules that constantly demand the DM fix their problems. I want to only have to use DM fiat when I want to.-Rules that just cease to exist outside of combat.-Mystery for mystery's sake. I only want mysteries that can be unraveled and de-mystified. The fun of a mystery is obliterating it, not admiring it from a position of supine ignorance.-Ambiguous rules.-Worlds that go on even if the PCs don't do something.-DMs out to do nothing more than screw the players, and players out to do nothing more than annoy the DM.-You die. No dice rolled.-PCs with plot immunity.-Rules-light systems. -Every PC of every class does more or less exactly the same thing, all the time.-Rerolls.</blockquote>
