What are your table conventions? What do you agree upon as a social contract prior to session 1?Any specific, system-agnostic, house rules at your table?
>>98956077No characters of fantastical ancestry at my table unless I've got a lot of experience with you as a roleplayer to be able to trust it, I am willing to be a lot more allowing in just straight up being a full blodded fantastical creature though.
>>98956077>All dice are rolled in the open>Minimize any out-of-character conversation when the game starts>The GM doesn't move characters and doesn't narrate character actions. >GM narrates failed checks>Players narrate successful checks>Keep turns brief. Describe where you are, what you do, and what you say>Talk during the table is assumed to be in-character, including planning>Players should avoid interrupting eachother>Share the spotlight with eachother>Players are responsible for moving their characters, giving their characters goals, and progressing the story>No alcohol. Other drinks are okay. Food during breaks.>Players can co-create the fictional world as long as it's plausible. Co-creation is not used to bypass a challenge and must make sense in the fiction>The tone of this game is based on (insert reference). Everyone should take the experience seriously and respect the tone.>Players should find a reason to be adventuring together. No lone wolves.>Sexual violence can be implied in the setting, but any sexual acts are fade to black. No romance scenes.These are ours.
>>98956101>any sexual acts are fade to black. No romance scenes.Genuine question, why do you do "sex scenes are fade to black but you can NOT promise your heart to a knight"?
>>98956101Are there any games where GMs move characters? What are you on about?
>>98956077Sequencing - in matter of the day decision priority goes to the person that showed up first.Seniority - in long term matters decision priority goes to the person that has been around longest.Tradition - things are implicitly same as last time unless one of the above explicitly overrides.Commitment - deal is a deal, keep your word to the best of your ability.
>>98956324There are shitty GMs out there just like there are shitty players out there.
No characters of another gender. My wife once played a premade male character and it was just too confusing for everyone.
