Advanced Dungeons and Dragons is a game that is demanding for the players and Dungeon Master alike, but the rewards in terms of enjoyment are vast. There is nothing quite like a successful D&D campaign, and its success is based upon the efforts of all participants. The Dungeon Master is pivotal of course but the players are just as important, for they are the primary actors and actresses in the fascinating drama that unfolds before them. For that reason, their outlook and their conduct will greatly affect the flavour and tempo of the campaign. Accordingly they should do their best to further the success of the entire undertaking. This is often no more than a matter of simple etiquette, and following a few simple guidelines will suffice to make the game experience more fun for everyone concerned, to wit:
Be an organised player, have the necessary information on your character readily at hand and available to the Dungeon Master.
Cooperate with the Dungeon Master and respect his decisions; if you disagree present your viewpoint with deference to his position as game moderator. Be prepared to accept his decision as final and remember that not everything in the game will always go your way!
Cooperate with the other players and respect their right to participate. Encourage new and novice players by making suggestions and allowing them to make decisions on courses of action rather than dictating their responses.
