I'm in charge of the "D&D Club" at a local middle school. I do this with something of an agenda: I want to try to help form the next generation of gamers into people I'd like to have at the table. I'd like to give them a list of six or seven Gaming Virtues, if you will, something to teach them. I've come up with Teamwork, Role-Playing, and Generosity so far, but I'm not married to those ideas. I'd like some help brainstorming, if you'd be so kind.
So, what virtues would you like to see in a young gamer with whom you sit down at a table? Brainstorming rules apply. |
