What are the "unspoken rules" of wargaming and TTRPG behavioral etiquette and anything related to them?

Image is just to get your attention.

Most of the rules are pretty spoken. If I had to pick an unspoken one, it would be something like this:

You can be a fag, but don't be a goddamn fag about it. Don't be like OP.

>>95972623 (OP)
The you-know-what is found you-know-where, you just need to do the thing.

>>95972623 (OP)
SHOWER YOU FAT FUCK
LAUNDER YOUR CLOTHES

>>95972886
TRVKE

>>95972623 (OP)
Do not have sex in front of other people during game night.

>>95972623 (OP)
Be fair.

Show respect.

Be polite.

Manage emotions.

Handle winning or losing with moderation.

Don't cheat.

Don't take offence at a percieved slight, seeth silently about it throughout the entire game and later create a rambling rant about it on 4chan about how you were right and your opponent's playstyle, game choice, application of rules, toy selection, colour, race, sex, creed, age, or political affiliation was wrong. Nobody cares.

For TTRPGs specifically, if someone made a character that's very oriented around doing a thing, try not to outdo that thing, even if the system mechanics let you.

Intelligence is realizing that you're playing a game where casters are broken. Wisdom is knowing not to make your cleric a super-martial that does everything your fighter does but better.

>be polite
>be efficient
>have a plan to kill everyone you meet
Very applicable to boardgames.

"Accidentally" break every Xenosfag army you meet. It's fine, it encourages them to buy new models thus increasing Xenos revenue :^)

Learn your own faction or characters rules. Nothing worse then having to pause over and over because a player is facedown in his paperwork trying to remember how any of his shit works. Or they're bugging you about it, I don't know how to play your character or your army, that's your job.

I saved the based 'bara, so you get a (You).

>>95972623 (OP)
be on time
always do your best to make it, and if you absolutely can't make sure to let everyone know well ahead
communicate before, during and after playing
maintain basic levels of hygiene
appreciate the time and effort the other players, especially the ones arranging, have put in to make it possible

>>95972623 (OP)
This is a game, everyone is there to have a good time, at the end of the day of it's not a tourney or similarly competitive, just be congenial and shoot the shit unless someone else starts shit, then it's probably best to just leave.

>>95972886
Brush your fucking teeth.

The Dice Never Lie

>>95972623 (OP)
1. Show up on time
2. Because the rules are spoken

>>95972623 (OP)
Be polite, respectful, and friendly, and be prepared to lose with grace.

>image is just to get your attention.
>uses a cute capybara with bird
I respect you for not using a lewd image.

>>95972623 (OP)
Shower, shave, brush teeth, wear clean clothes, be polite, and friendly.
Also cute capy.

>wargaming
Listen, I know my paintjob's great, but show a second of self discipline and mark the minis position with a die or something before grabbing it off the table and ogling it. And JESUS FUCK wash the cheetos dust off your hands before doing it.

>>95976451
That's just good parenting.

>>95972623 (OP)
>If it ain' yer'n, don't touch.

Touch my personal things, I'm touching your's.
It WILL get sexy.

For players:
>Know your character sheet. Know how your stuff work. You don't have to read the whole books, just the parts that concern your character, systemwise. If you're into canon lore, even better.
>Be silent and pay attention when its not your turn.
>Be ready to act when it is your turn. You had all the other players and NPCs turns to think what to do. Now do it.
>Do not argue or bargain directly with the GM. Engage with the fictional world through character action to get what you want of it. Instead of "GM, may I roll this or that", tell exactly what the character will do to get it. Most of the time, you will succeed without even needing to roll.
>You're allowed to talk over other people if these people are female.


For GMs:
>Prepare the session.
>Do not tell a player what their character is thinking, feeling or how they react to something. Tell what happens to them, they tell how they react.
>GM screen is for cowards. Roll openly always; or don't roll at all and simply tell what happens. You're the GM. No one should argue or bargain with you. They should engage with the fiction.
>Talk to your players in their character names in session. It will work wonders for immersion.
>Put every female player into a situation of sexual harassment, abuse or rape, just because "its realistic". They will all thank you for the mature content and praise your GM abilities.

>>95972623 (OP)
ask before touching
wash yourself
you broke you buy back
GM is always right
dice rolls count on table only

>you broke you buy back
You mean get kicked out of the LGS?
I get cautious when other people's models are near me. And refuse to hold people's models even if they offer it to me.
