The duty of a DM is to entertain the players no matter what.
The duty of a player is simply to show up for the game, and sometimes, not even then.

Shit like this is why I will turn to open table games if my current god-tier group ever falls apart. I will not bother suffering freakshit retards. We are going to play my weird pseudo-OSR race-as-class system that only has the races that I want in it, let me use my giant miniatures collection, low on the rules relatively speaking. If you cannot learn 1 or 2 pages of rules, then fuck off. That's fine. Or just don't show up. If you don't want to show up, you don't get to play that night and don't get XP. If you fall behind in level, too bad. New players start at level 1. The damage being thrown around isn't much more than it would be for a "Challenge Rating 1" creature anyway, in most cases. So you can fight from 2nd rank with a polearm or use a bow. It works fine. But if you don't show up to sessions? You don't get XP. You want to play freakshit? Too bad, unless it's an elf, half-elf, dwarf, gnome, or changeling, tortle, or kenku because I like them, you don't get to play it. And if you do want to play one of those, you choose that race as your whole identity as a class.
Anyone who calls this gay, has either not been a DM, or is in the same situation as me, where they have a long-term group with great cohesion, and are sheltered from seeing how fucking awful the general RPG playerbase has become.

Not wanting to have freakshit races making your setting unplayable muck with no immersion because no one can explain why 50 sexually-incompatible species are somehow living in a village together completely integrated, is not "culture war outrage," you retard. If anything, the inverse is true.

I don't give a flying fuck if players know the rules, it's generally smoother if they don't. Tell me what your character is doing, I'll tell you what dice to roll.
Entertaining you is not my job, though. I'm not your babysitter. I just run the world, going on adventures is your job.

I already know that's from r/DnD because only they can be more insufferable than /tg/.

I would extend it to also include being respectful for the DMs world, accepting the DM rulings, and contributing to the creativity. For example, if playing a game by >>97643045, I'm not going to argue for a Tiefling. I'm also going to write a character that gives the DM stuff to work with.

I meant to extend >>97643298. Misclicked.
