A concise summary of brilliance. Nice post!

@toord – It can also be expressed as ‘respect the people around your table.’ Finding where it gels isn’t always possible… alas.

I’d add:

KNOW YOUR CHARACTER. Nothing is more annoying than someone who has no idea what their character can/should do and spends 5 minutes fishing through all their sheets and source books before doing something.

It usually boils down to, if you pardon my French: don’t be a dick.

There’s nothing worse that playing a coop/group-oriented game with a bunch of people that just don’t jell with each other. It makes it an awful experience for all including the DM.

We all invest ourselves to develop our characters, but that doesn’t mean that it’s a bragging rights contest. Be humble and always keep in mind you are part of a group.

D&D is a ROLE-playing game. Play your role and every one’s happy, pull some battle-cleric-mage-trapsmith antics and soon enough you’ll be a sore spot — like a bard (j/k just wanted to poke fun at them)

And lastly but not at all least, it’s a damn game. Games are supposed to be for FUN. If all you get out of the game is frustration or if you get filled with rage because an aspect of Tiamat pwned you, then it’s time to find a new hobby. It’s for fun — period.

Brilliant advice, and something that should be included with all first time RPG purchases.

All simple lessons everyone should learn, I think.

Much wisdom.
