Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Sometimes, villains tell the truth. They also mix fact with falsehood. Listen carefully. "Good guys" may lie or simply be mistaken. Don't believe every word they say.

Tips for GameMasters
Dice Don't Rule - The dice are not more important than the story. In general, it's good to follow the rules and rolls, to make a consistent and fair game world. However, don't let a good or bad roll stand in the way of an entertaining story climax. Characters should die because of bad decisions, not bad luck.

From the RPG Glossary...
Training Rule - PCs can increase their proficiency at any skill without formal training.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You are unable to walk past the latest game supplement without leafing through it, even though you know it's going to be bad.

Gamer To Avoid
The Whiner - He can't stand it when things don't go his way. He feels picked on when his character suffers from a botched roll or takes damage.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot cast haste on the king during a long winded speech to get him to hurry the hell up.
