Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Trust and respect the GM. He is not competing with, nor attempting to defeat, the players. He is the final authority at the gaming table. If you disagree with one of his decisions during game play, speak with him calmly after the session is over.

Tips for GameMasters
Avoid Linchpins - Be careful with clues and puzzles. The players will not be able to notice and solve all of them. Make sure that there are several clues pointing toward the same fact. Don't put puzzles in a story that take more than 15 OOC minutes for the players to solve.

From the RPG Glossary...
Free action - A small or unimportant action (such as dropping something or saying a few words) that can be performed during combat in addition to a normal combat action.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You buy CDs of specific music (or sounds) just to use as background atmosphere for gaming.

Gamer To Avoid
The Lazy Gamer - He doesn't bother to learn the basic game rules and setting. He can't remember if he's supposed to roll high or low, or if starships have warp drives.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My Samedi is required to have dots in Obfuscate. Plural, as in more than one.
