Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Interact well with NPCs, whether they are friend or foe. Treat them like real people.

Tips for GameMasters
Never Railroad - Never make the players feel like they are being pushed towards a specific outcome. The ending of the story is in the player's hands, not yours. Win or lose, it's up to them. Guide them toward key plot points as gently and subtly as possible.

From the RPG Glossary...
Console drone - Someone who has spent a great deal of time playing PC and console games, who needs list of actions to choose from and can't improvise solutions in an RPG.

Gaming Humor

Your most important criteria for a mate is that they're a gamer, too.

Gamer To Avoid
The In-Fighter - He frequently instigates conflict with other player's characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
