"You don't expect this to be a serious game?"

A comment made by one of my players at the weekend, in the first session of the new campaign I've started up.

In reply: "I worked hard for four weeks to write up this campaign setting. It's not perfect, but I think it is good. Yes, I damn well do expect this to be a serious game!"

Which is not to say I expect your character to be a faceless drone, going through the campaign I've written for you. By all means, play your character, and if that character is a maladjusted rebel then so be it. However, I expect you to take the game itself seriously.

It's the difference between being disruptive because your character is logically disruptive, and being disruptive because you are an ass.

Anyway, that's enough ranting for now.
