Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Interact well with NPCs, whether they are friend or foe. Treat them like real people.

Tips for GameMasters
Be Dramatic - Major events in the story should be memorable. Something that impresses or intimidates a character is likely to seem larger-than-life. If a PC dies, make sure it's a particularly tragic or heroic death that fits into the storyline.

From the RPG Glossary...
Commanders Rule - Regardless of the size of the armies, the outcome of the battle is always determined by the PC and named NPC heroes on each side.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...

You Might Be A Gamer If...
Your most important criteria for a mate is that they're a gamer, too.

Gamer To Avoid
The In-Fighter - He frequently instigates conflict with other player's characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
