We
have come up with several important aspect of gaming we feel must be discussed
to help provide a welcoming gaming experience for all attendants of a
session. This is not an all-inclusive list, but they are aspects of
gaming that problems can often arise, and we wish to try and prevent our
sessions of gaming from getting out of control. It Important for players
to read this list and act accordingly. The failure to observe any of
these rules may be grounds for suspension and or permanent ban from future
sessions. Ignorance of these rules is no excuse for rude behavior or
being inconsiderate to others in the session. We expect all participants
to act responsibly and respectfully. 1. Please
be on time and stay for the duration of a session .
Before deciding to attend a session please be sure that you will be able to
arrive on time and stay for the duration of the session. If for any
reason you are going to be late, please contact Mami RP Gaming and inform us
that you will be late and the approximate time they can expect you to
arrive. If you will not be able to attend the scheduled session, we ask
that as a courtesy you provide a notice of at least 24-48 hours. This
enables us to start the paperwork for any refund, inform the session’s ref and
try and fill the vacant seat (if applicable). 2. No
anti-party characters . Unless you are involved in a solo adventure, you can
expect to have one or more other players participating in each session.
We ask that when you play that you play characters that work well with a group,
or at least provides good reason for the other player characters to associate
with your character. Please do not make characters that are antagonistic
to the other party members. Party rivalry to an extent is welcomed but
playing a character that never work with the group is not welcomed. The
other players often have a less enjoyable time or fail to have any enjoyment in
games that include anti-party characters. Loner characters often work
best in solo games, and in games where all participants know ahead of time and
agree to allow such a character in their group.
3. Character
Creation. Prior to creating a character always be sure to read the
session description, setting, and house rules. Check the rules on creating
characters and submit your character to the specific ref for approval.
Characters must be approved 24 hours prior to session start. Each ref
decides on which characters they will accept if any. If the ref
does not allow a character, they will let you know what modifications if any
would be necessary for approval. Some adventures and campaigns may have a
“Session Zero,” where the ref and the players create characters in a session
together. Other adventures and campaigns may only allow pre-generated
characters. Before making a character check the description of the game for
specifics or contact the ref. Often there will be available Pre-generated
characters, but this differ with each individual ref. 4. Rules
disputes . Every ref has final say on how they will interpret and
enforce the game rules of their sessions. Unless “house rules” are posted
players can expect that the game system being used will be played as written by
the publisher. Any house rule changes by a ref should be listed with the
description of the game, within a thread, or in a separate house rules
description when the session is announced. During the game, if a player
does not agree with a ref’s rule interpretation, feel free to voice your
disagreement. To keep the game going it is important to limit such
discussions during actual play. This may require the ref making a choice
and continuing quickly rather than pausing the game. The ref will have
more time to debate outside of actual play. We ask that you maintain a
respectful debate both in and out of game sessions. 5. Fighting/
Arguments . Fighting of any kind is not permitted. We do not
condone nor tolerate threats from any of our representatives nor
attendees. Verbal fights will be handled by the ref, they will try and
keep the peace at their table. We prefer to resolve disputes quickly so as not
to effect game play. Physical fights or threats will result in proper
notification of security or law enforcement. 6. No
tolerance for Discrimination or harassment . Please refer
to our Participant Conduct form for details concerning this subject. 7. Distractions .
It is important that when participating in a session player have their full
attention focused on the game. Please refrain from participation if you
cannot provide your full attention for the duration of the session. We
understand that distractions outside of an individual’s control will
occur. We only ask that players minimize distractive activities and
discussions during game play. This includes speaking about subjects that
do not concern the game in session. Time flies quickly and our goal is to
get the most we can from each session. 8. Participants
under the age of 18 . Please be aware of if you are participating in a mature
content 18+ game session or not. Please conduct yourself appropriately
for the session maturity level. 9. Multiple
Characters . Most games do not allow a single player to play more
than one character at a time. Please consult with the ref of the specific
session on their policy for multiple characters. 10. In party fighting/ killing of other
players characters (In game) . Most of our games do
not allow for players to intentionally harm or kill other members of their
party. There are certain games where this is allowed, and they should
have such information provided in their game descriptions or house rules.
Copyrighted Material . It is Mami RP Gaming
policy that players do not ask our ref or company for copyrighted
material. In this case Published books and information. We do not
condone nor participate in illegal information sharing. Please do not ask
for free copyrighted books. We have no authority to provide such.
We will always strive to teach players the rules for the game they are
participating in (especially games that except new players). Our refs
will also assist players with character creation. Game materials can be
purchased both online and at your local gaming store.
