How to Roleplay, by TBG
May. 10th, 2005 12:00 amWhen the GM starts an adventure by saying "You are in this place, doing this thing", DON'T FUCKING START ASKING QUESTIONS.
Don't go "how did we get here?" Don't ask any questions. For the love of all that's holy, don't interrupt! If the GM starts the game in media res, GO WITH IT. Maybe it'll be a dream. Maybe it'll just get the game started quicker. Endless, bloody inquisitions will just make the game slow down to a crawl.
In other news, don't question the GM's knowledge of the game world during character generation. Big hint, chucky: he IS the game world now. And your ability to quote chapter and verse from the Requiem rulebook and the latest chatter on the Forums means two things: Jack, and shit. Ask questions, if you like. Offer suggestions, if you will. But when he says something doesn't matter, don't act like it should.
Feh. I'm just cranky.
