Hey /tg/ I'm going to start my first tabletop rpg session tomorrow and I'm nervous as fuck.
Do you guys have any tips for a first timer?
I'm pretty fucking autistic so are there any manners or rules I should follow to not be an asshole?
I'm pretty shy too so I really don't know how I can do the whole "role playing" part.

pls help
First time among friends focus first and foremost on letting them know it's a group effort in having fun.
Don't worry as much about strict rule adherence, if you think you'll have to dive into the books longer than a minute or two just make up a DC or house rule.

Rexal. Just have fun. Go with it even if you feel a bit awkward. Don't worry, the others probably do too. Wait until people finish talking, don't interrupt. Try to leave room for other players to do things, don't hog the stage so to speak. Freshen up before you go. If you eat something messy have a way to clean your hands. And when all else fails just follow general rules of conduct for human interaction same as any other situation.

oh, and don't intentionally dick someone over. Unless you really can't help it.

Focus on helping the party first and foremost, over what your character would do.
