[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9047527, member: 6796661"] Inspired by another thread on "what homebrew rules do we assume is common in the community", I thought it would be interested to learn what the community think are common rules of etiquette at TTRPG tables. Rules of etiquette [I]tend[/I] to be unspoken and often assumed but can be drastically different in different communities and at different tables. I'm sure some of us have had a bit of culture shock when playing with entirely new groups of people. Some questions to spawn discussion: [LIST] [*]Are there certain rules of etiquette that you not only assume but, if broken, would cause you leave the game if broken? [*]Do you have any stories of joining a table that had very different rules of etiquette than you were used to? These can be horror stories or, perhaps more interesting, situations where it was a positive eye opener or refreshing change. [*]Are there common rules of etiquette that chafe you? Expectations that you find to be common but annoying or overly constricting? [/LIST] If you are comfortable with discussing it, it would be interesting if you posted where you are from and the types of people you tend to play with. I would expect that etiquette will differ among different demographics, but perhaps there are certain somewhat universal gold rules. [/QUOTE]
