Gaming Tips
Tips for Players
While the game is in progress, keep the OOC talk at the table to a minimum. Off-topic chatter can be distracting and frustrating to those people who are enjoying the game. If you make a side comment, make it clear whether you are speaking as your character or as yourself.
Tips for GameMasters
Know Their Minds - Understand the short and long term goals of each PC and player. While you are running adventures to forward the main plot, there should be room for subplots that center on these goals. Get feedback from the players to improve your storytelling skills and tailor the story to your audience.
From the RPG Glossary...
Party - A group of player characters who act and travel together.
Gaming Humor
When I Am the Evil Overlord...
One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have three or more dice-boxes - one in use; the others retired, holding seldom-used, antique, faithful dice, or doing duty on the Gaming Shrine.
Gamer To Avoid
The Specialist - He's the world's best at one thing, but is completely useless in all other situations. He completely dominates one scene, then sleeps through the next thirty.
Things I Learned While Gaming
A picture of my ex-wife is not an acceptable backup weapon.
