Gamer-Etiquette

~ Looking for RPG Players Who: 

 - can role play for more than 45 sec. at a time

  - play honorably : keeping track of ammo honestly; accepting low dice rolls, taking damage truthfully, etc.

 - care for more than the rules  or  correcting the DM or other players about rules in game.

                 (don't halt the action to contest things, please)

  - can put down the smart-phone

  - can keep a civil tongue about them ; also leave out unnecessary drama

  - can show up more than 33.3% of the time

             (text the DM if you can't make it)

 - don't cross-chat on someone else's turn.  (especially combat)

  - are able to play just  their own character, and not tell

      others what they could or should have done.

  - don't whine if their character takes more than 8 hp dmg,

       or if a skill check is quite high, or an NPC is difficult

         (your character will most likely live through a session,

            but that doesn't mean every  single task is easy.)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's one D&D campaign where they  had to sack the whole thing. 

Of 8 players, about 6 of them were unable to be polite during the game:

    1  talks quite a bit about other videos or miniatures games during RPG time.

    2  cannot silence his cell phone or stay off of it.

                 (Which could be understood if he were a doctor or had a life; but he did not.)

    3  cannot help but contradict the DM and correct him on the rules.

    4 also tended to tell other players what to do with their characters,

              and imply they were stupid if the character didn't do the best/right thing.

    5  cannot show up on time, or stay awake

    6  cannot quit playing other video games or music during RPG time.

At some time a tipping point was reached, and the signal-to-noise ratio  grew too lopsided,

            and the DM disbanded the weekly game.

 So we are looking for  people who can politely participate in a gaming group.      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Can we be  shown a gamer that is a pleasant person with which to spend an evening ? 

That would be most impressive of all.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But, we are playing an RPG  in a completely different environment:

• At a table; Live.

• In a group; where the definition of fun needs to be an average consensus.

• Multiple “stars” of the show exist

• Where the story is hopefully more deep and nuanced than a Vidya Game.

• It's a shared hallucination, where your preferences ought to be mollified to group level.

• It's up to the DM to hopefully give each player spotlight time to shine and excel.

• The story is fluid, and exists ongoing in several minds, over several months.

• The only enemies in the game are miniatures on the table.

• Events from last session carry into the next; and there are consequences with NPCs.

Characters are not built in TTRPGs, they exist and gain new abilities with practice.
