Metagaming Keys
Metagaming Keys are keys used for fun and profit that relate to issues outside of the game itself, that arrise among the actual players of the game. Some are specific to my own gaming group (Distraction, as we get distracted easily), others may apply to other groups or enhance the gaming environment (too much Monty Python - Which is to say, "any"; Stingy gamers not bringing in food; gamers that suffer inconvenience to host the game since no one else can; etc). Feel free to add your own as applicable, but try to keep an eye towards the universal. Key of Giving Kevin a wedgie everytime he picks his nose would not help other SOY gamers.

• Key of Not Quoting Popular Media - You get 3XP for every session that you don't quote Monty Python, Aliens, Firefly/Buffy, or other popular easily-recognizable movie or TV memorable quotes. 1XP every time someone else at the table does it. Buyoff Quote any line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. (JAK)
• Key of Bringing Food for the Other Gamers - You get 1XP for every complete, unopened food item that you bring to gaming (Jar of Salsa, Bag of Chips, Bag of Candy, 6 Pack of Soda/Beer, etc. OPENED items do not count). 3XP for bringing in special food items only available in another state/country.

• Key of Gaming at My House - You get 1 XP for every session where the gaming happens at your house, apartment, or other place of residence.
