[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 1987217, member: 1115"] These rules apply when I'm DMing: 1. Rule 0 is the only rule, the rest are guidelines. 2. The DM's word is law (unless a player comes up with a better interpretation of the "rules" within a few seconds). 3. Leave an actual character sheet with the DM (depends on the group). If the sheet is not up to date - bad luck, the old version is used instead (possibly with less magic items, lower saves,...). 4. A player has 27 seconds to decide what to do in his turn (we're using a sand glass), when time is out, the PC delayed until his next turn. If you have a rules question, check the books during the turns of the other players before asking. 5. Don't peek behind the DM's screen, doing so may cause trouble for your character! 6. Don't mention DSA during D&D play. Doing so is heresy! :eek: 7. Extra food is always welcome! [/QUOTE]
