[QUOTE="Jedi_Solo, post: 3421494, member: 40245"] My handwriting is horrible. I write with my right hand but I hold the pen/pencil/bloody finger like a left handed person (my hand is at the 90 degree angle I tend to see with left handers). I've heard the term Hen Scratching applied to this but I don't know if there is a real "term" to how I write. Even if I take my time I sometimes can't read my own writing (I ususally can, and usually others can - but there have been times...) If I'm writing something that I will be "turning it" (backstory, jounal entry, etc) I type it on the computer. Which I guess brings me to what I want to see in a player. That they care enough to try. Can't do math? Use a calculator (thier own or one that is available). Don't know the rules? Read the rules. We have a couple of players that won't even bother to read the PHB. THAT gets to me (and they own thier own copy too). Problem reading? Pay attention and try to learn the rules as you go along. Poor handwriting? Type it up. Everybody forgets rules. Not everyone knows all of the rules. Heck; sometimes I need a rule bashed into my skull with a 2x4 a few times before I remember it. If I see the player is trying then I have no problems cutting them slack if they need it. But at least try. [/QUOTE]
