I'm gonna try to keep it positive instead.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I like players that view the game as a story. The ones who don't care if their character gets horribly slaughtered on his second adventure by a kobold that scored a lucky crit, as long as he has a good yarn to spin about it over the counter at the game store. The kind of player who talks about making his character a part of the world- things like trying to find a suitable spouse for his character, find ways to take care of their parents when they get older, build a keep on a wild frontier so the next campaign has a neat new NPC patron.I like the players that will bring their PHB and dice to the game, that will chip in for new minis for the group, that will bring a twelve pack for the players who drink and leave the leftovers for the host. I really dig the players that know what their spells, feats, and class features do. I like the players that stay on task- they might laugh at a funny moment or joke, but they don't go off on tangents until the game is over. In short, I like the players that make themselves good guests.I like players who feel that a new splatbook coming out doesn't justify a re-engineering of their character from the ground up.I like players that have a respect for the material. I like the players that don't try to play snow elf swashbuckler/warlocks in my Ancient Greek setting or katana-wielding half-orc ninja/psions in my Greyhawk game. I like the player that will play a character appropriate to the setting.The absolute favorite, most awesome player in my book is the one who asks what the group needs the most. The player that's willing to suck it up and play the cleric, the wizard, or the ranger in a party that really needs it. The player who doesn't view this sort of thing as a chore, but as a chance to play something different and push a character type outside the box.</blockquote>
