Dress code? Are costumes appropriate? Silly voices for the characters? Back-stories for your character? Also, if I've NOT played a particular fame before, is there time during the game acceptable for me to ask a question to LEARN more about what I can or cannot do? I unfortunately make MANY mistakes, however: I try to not make the same mistake the same way twice.

I kind of have that as an addendum to rule 1 Be accurate with who you are bringing. Having more or less players than I expected really messes with the games I have on tap. It’s not fun having someone stand over your shoulder while you game. At least it’s more fun when I can pick a game that will include everyone. With children it’s even more important because I’ll need to pick games that I can easily explain to them and they can get into.

Which then there are the groups of people who will interrupt and or check out in the middle of the explanation and then later go "so whats the objective of the game again" which the typical response is "to score points" which i then get hit with "but how do we get points" i then proceed to list off the 3 or so ways you can score/get points and then i get "yeah but how do we do those things" just ends up with them beating around the bush about how they werent listening or that for some reason "collecting resources to do this or that" is a difficult concept despite the fact that we have played several resource management games before
