Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Act true to your character. Have a distinct and interesting personality. Roleplaying your quirks, mental and social characteristics.

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...
[Skill]-Fu - Referring to the skill as an artform, suggesting a high level of proficiency in the skill.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...

You Might Be A Gamer If...

Gamer To Avoid
The Coward - He won't risk losing his character. He stays in the back, away from the action and out of harm's way. He lets everyone else take the risks.
