Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
NPCs may leave a scene but they never leave the game. You can build an ongoing relationship with them, good or bad. Some NPCs can become patrons, teachers, or mentors.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Be Verbose - Avoid giving long, wordy descriptions of unimportant factors. Don't give a five minute long description of the NPCs exotic sports car, just because you love hot cars. Unless it affects the plot, reveal only the basic details.

From the RPG Glossary...
Magic abuser - Any spellcaster who tends to screw-up at using magic in spectacular and often party-damaging ways.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
To keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless trance, I will provide each of them with free unlimited Internet access.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever seen the solid brass d6s... and HAD to have them so that they made more noise than everyone else's when you rolled them.

Gamer To Avoid
The Psycho - His character has no regard for others and feels that the normal rules of society don't apply to him. How dare those police try to arrest him for stealing a car?!

Things I Learned While Gaming
There is no such game as Wereshark the Buffet.
