Rules

– Don’t damage the games, the venue, or the other players.

– Be considerate of future gamers.  Put the components back in the box carefully, to avoid damage.

– Check the floor for dropped counters, cards, dice, etc. immediately after every game.  It’s amazing how many bits get lost because nobody checks.

– Don’t reshelve the games.  Put them on the returns table and let Jake deal with them.  Seriously.

– Food and drink must be kept away from the games.  Spill-proof containers for drinks are okay, but if your fingers are greasy, don’t touch the games.

– No alcohol or drugs.  (Not on your person, nor in your system already.  If you show up drunk or high, you’ll be shown the door.)

– Children must be actively supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.

– Animals are not allowed.  The only exceptions are bona fide service animals. (No, emotional support animals don’t count.  And no, the very official looking certificate or vest you ordered off of the internet won’t change that.)

– Die rolls that hit the floor don’t count and must be rerolled.  If your dice keep landing on the floor, learn to roll your dice like a human instead of a chimpanzee.

– Ensure you’ve washed your clothes and body.  Nobody wants to game with a stinky person.

– Avoid hot-button conversational topics.  Everyone’s here to have fun, not debate about emotionally charged issues.

– Don’t be creepy.  If anyone asks you to leave them alone, leave them alone.  This is non-negotiable.

– Be a good sport.  Even if you’re losing badly and it’s frustrating.  Chalk it up to a learning experience and you’ll do better next game.

The Most Important Rule:

– Have fun!
