[QUOTE="Chaldfont, post: 2215720, member: 1472"] I agree with "Don't take it too seriously". My buddies and I play RPGs, but we could just as easily be playing poker or doing a pubcrawl. We do this to have fun, blow off steam, and complain about work. If the dice don't roll well, we toss em. If the rules get in the way, we toss em. If we start BSing and forget about the game, so be it. But other unwritten rules include: * Bring homebrewed beer if you have some. We have two homebrewers in the group. * If your PC dies, he goes up on the Valhalla Wall. * If someone makes a rules mistake and realizes it after his turn is up (including DM), the mistake stands. No "I would have hit that hill giant three turns ago because I forgot to add flanking bonus and I would have dropped him before he hit me with the crit" allowed. * If we don't know the rules for a given situation, the DM will make something up. He'll look it up between games and use the RAW next time. * If you don't show up, we may play your PC or he might be an NPC, or he might disappear for the session--group choice. He may or may not get XP or treasure. He may fall down a blade-lined chute and then down a 100' drop to his death only to be looted and buried by the party. * If you make your PC do something cool, it will almost always succeed. [/QUOTE]
