    Always go ahead with the plan when the DM starts crying (just be prepared for the petty revenge "adventure" later).

    Never make like the Scooby gang and split up.

    When you do make like the Scooby gang and split up, don't send the wizard off alone.

    When you do both of these things, make sure that the wizard isn't the one carrying the clerics raise dead diamonds.

    Never guess that the DMPC is the BBEG, you're always wrong and you always regret it later.

    Upon getting a bag of holding, your next trip to town should be to buy 10 of every mundane item in the equipment list of the PHB! You can never have enough rope, chalk, waterskins, 10ft poles, candles, or dry rations!

    If the DM has a random table for everything but only rolls on it if people ask.

    Don't ask.

    When the DM says "... what?!", it's not a cue to repeat what you said. It's a cue to rethink what you said.

    Never take the figure in the hooded cloak's word for it. It is less painful in the long run to sneak up on them at the outset and jerk the hood back, and sort out whether it's a beautiful princess, a bard, the BBEG, or all three.
