Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
At the end of an adventure, not all of the implications of an encounter may have been revealed. Review your notes. See if you may have overlooked something, or finally have all the pieces necessary to solve a mystery.

Tips for GameMasters
Have a Framework - Not every adventure needs to be completely fleshed out, however, you need a framework. The adventure needs to have a purpose, such as finding a lost ruin, recovering an artifact, meeting an important NPC, defeating a monster, or discovering a vital clue. Come up with one or more encounters which will lead the PCs toward that goal.

From the RPG Glossary...
Spaka-spaka - A well-placed or well-armed attack that has no effect at all.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You keep having dreams where you are your character... and you think it is neat, rather than consulting a professional.

Gamer To Avoid
The Twink - He manipulates the game system to make his character as powerful as possible. He plays a character of a higher level than the rest of his party, or inherits items and abilities from previous characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am not allowed to recreate Veers' March of the AT-ATs on Zhentil Keep.
