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
Quick Combat - Unless your players love tactical battles on a hex mat with figurines, use cinematic descriptions of combat actions. Don't let system rules slow down the game to the point where one fight scene takes longer than five roleplay scenes. Reward players who give interesting descriptions of their actions by making them more likely to succeed.

From the RPG Glossary...
Bravery - (also: courage) Showing resolve in the face of danger, pursuing an important goal regardless of risk; often confused with a lack of fear.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot, with none of that nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've actually paid to have custom fangs made.

Gamer To Avoid
The Genre-Jumper - He tries to bring in aspects of other genres. In a party with an Elvish druid and ranger, he's the ninja.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to steal my own soul.
