Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Learn something significant about another player's character. Don't travel with strangers, or ignore another character's shtick.

Tips for GameMasters
Improvise - You can't plan for everything the players will do. You'll need to improvise places, objects, and people on a regular basis. Keep a list of common names handy. Try to draw from personal experience and media sources. Take notes on any story elements you invent - they may come up again later.

From the RPG Glossary...
Wargame - A genre of simulation gaming that involves recreating battle situations, often involving miniatures of personnel and weapons in a modeled diorama; wargamers may recreate historical battles, or simulate science fiction or fantasy battles.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he's my trusted lieutenant.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You alternate between referring to your characters in the first and the third person... and none of your friends gets confused.

Gamer To Avoid
The Ace - He creates the epitome of the multi-class character. He wants to be the best at everything. If another player has a shtick, he wants it too.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot make called shots to the plectrum, anvil, stirrup, hammer or Isle of Langerhans.
