Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Learn something significant about another player's character. Don't travel with strangers, or ignore another character's shtick.

Tips for GameMasters
Improvise - You can't plan for everything the players will do. You'll need to improvise places, objects, and people on a regular basis. Keep a list of common names handy. Try to draw from personal experience and media sources. Take notes on any story elements you invent - they may come up again later.

From the RPG Glossary...
Twink - A player whose character starts with items and abilities "inherited" from another character, or a player who introduces a powerful high level PC into a lower-level party for his unfair advantage.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have more entertaining "there I was..." character stories than you have anecdotes about your family.

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 gain more than three drama dice per session for making the GM pee.
