The Cheetoist Philosophy

We game for the snacks. And also the dice. But mostly, just to hang out with friends and tell tall stories.

Rpg books are just a bunch of guidelines for how to tell your tall stories, and give you a fair excuse to roll lots of dice and eat cheetos. To make your games more fun, talk to your group.

In any game, it's part social, part game. For most gamers, it's social first, game second. Game first, social second - that's for people who get paid to do it. Mike Jordan never said to his coach, "but it's just a game, who cares about the rules"; he took it seriously, because of money. Well, give me ten million bucks a year to roleplay, and I'll take it seriously, too. Until then, I am a Cheetoist. That's it.

The purpose of this wiki is to provide practical advice to roleplaying gamers in support of the Cheetoist philosophy. If you game for the game itself, for competition, as group therapy, or education, then you are a crazy person and should go elsewhere.

The heart of the site is Why Game Groups Fuck Up, an e-book describing all the things which can go wrong and right in game groups.

For reasons they like to keep to themselves, people have come to look at this page times.
