I've decided I'm at an impasse with my GM's chapter. I know so many people know "all" of this stuff already, and then so many people don't. I mean at least if they know it, they aren't acting on it. The best advice I have to give is "talk to your players..." and 'play with friends." Simple, short, and exactly what I mean.

I've got more to add, but I think I'm going to hire out for part of it. I've talked to a writer and think it will allow me more time to work on the things I know well, and don't feel like an BACK-SIDE for trying to convey the simplest of human ideas through a game. I don't want to talk down to people, but it is VERY clear in my personal gaming experience is that some people don't really focus on the "shared" fun enough, and only worry about the "my fun." 

I've numerous examples, I could wax lyrical on, but the examples are the ones I remember. So they are so heinously bad, that I hope its just aberrations and not everyone suffers through them.
