Gaming Tips
Tips for Players
Trust and respect the GM. He is not competing with, nor attempting to defeat, the players. He is the final authority at the gaming table. If you disagree with one of his decisions during game play, speak with him calmly after the session is over.
Tips for GameMasters
Avoid Grimtooth - Don't abuse traps. When traps are overused, they seem like arbitrary attempts to kill characters. The story bogs down when the PCs have to check every door and chest before touching it. Trap placement should be logical. How does the wizard move around in his own tower?
From the RPG Glossary...
Flea Market Rule - A PC can always find someone to buy his trinket, no matter how useless it is.
Gaming Humor
When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.
You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have examples of weapons from your games in the house - "so the players can't argue about how heavy/long/clumsy/etc. they are".
Gamer To Avoid
The Lackey - He never comes up with ideas or puzzle solutions. He only participates by helping with someone else's plan.
Things I Learned While Gaming
My paladin's battle cry is not "Good for the Good God!"
