Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Read about the genre and setting in which the campaign takes place. Find out what sort of races, classes, and concepts fit into the genre. Determine how gritty the setting is. Ask how mundane or extraordinary your character's background should be.

Tips for GameMasters
No Favoritism - Reward players equally for equal effort and participation. Don't favor a particular race, class, concept, or party role.

From the RPG Glossary...
Flying god - Something that seems like a good character quirk, which seriously interferes with the game in ways one never thought possible.

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 buy CDs of specific music (or sounds) just to use as background atmosphere for gaming.

Gamer To Avoid
The Lazy Gamer - He doesn't bother to learn the basic game rules and setting. He can't remember if he's supposed to roll high or low, or if starships have warp drives.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My rockerboy cannot play nor has ever heard of the theremin, didgeridoo or glass armonica.
