Top Rules
- Know your spells/abilities, there isn’t time to learn them during a game and it’s not fair to make other players wait.
- Don’t try to monopolise the game, be aware of other players and let them have their moments in the spotlight.
- Don’t make a roll unless the DM asks for it – say what you want to do and the DM will call for a roll if one is needed.
- Consider the repercussions of your actions and don’t lose sight of your mission objectives in a game.
- The DM is the ultimate authority during a game, their ruling is final.
