Discussing Rules During Live Gameplay

Participants are never immune to combat or effects while discussing or clarifying rules with other players and/or Reeves during live gameplay. It is important for Reeves and players alike to keep the Honor System in mind and work cooperatively to resolve mid-game issues quickly and fairly without further impacting the experience of others.

In addition, even if a Reeve witnessed the complicated interaction, they won't always be able or available to help resolve it. Players are encouraged to keep this in mind and set their expectations accordingly. Mid-game adjudication is a privilege, not a right. It is best to engage Reeves while you are dead or between game rounds to help prevent issues from repeating rather than relying on them for moment-to-moment calls. Our player-run system simply cannot guarantee that kind of instant, play-by-play, support.

You can help your local Reeves by reviewing the Best Practices and keeping them in mind when issues arise.
