Rules
One thing I hate doing when I'm working on a new game is writing up the Rules post. There's such a fine line between saying too much and being too restrictive, to being too laid back about things. So I'm wondering a few things...

1. Can anyone point me to what they think was the absolute perfect set of rules/faq/information that they saw in a game they played in?

2. What rules do you like seeing, or expect to see information about?

3. What rules are a complete turn-off to you for a game?

Thanks to all! And as always, thank you to everyone in this community for all of the wonderful resources.

That's a good segment at the top. I may well adapt some of that for mine, and thank you for the idea!!

In terms of profile and app... often times they are the same thing, but I've been in games where the profile page is actually longer and more detailed than the app, so it'll include more information as the character is developed. The silly little things that I don't care about in app but that someone might want to record later, like descriptions of rooms, favorite food/color, that sort of thing. I don't need them in the original application, but it's good for someone to be reminded that they'll come in handy down the road. That's all.
