Tony…these are all excellent strategies for running a smooth gaming session. You could almost use these tips as a primer for anyone wishing to pass their Interpersonal Communications classes.

I would like to add that these strategies only work in real life. The monsters in my game tend to alter the rule just a bit:

“Attack the problem, not the person” tends to become, “Eat the person, eliminate the problem”. After that, the rest of the suggestions tend to fall by the wayside.

Happy Gaming!
