Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
If you discover an important clue, share it with your companions at the first opportunity.

Tips for GameMasters
No Monty Haul - Avoid giving your players wealth and power too quickly. If something is acquired easily, it isn't cherished treasure. Extremely powerful characters are difficult to design plots for.

From the RPG Glossary...
Downtime - The time a player spends engaged in non-game activities while another player is taking his turn or monopolizing the game master.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not tell my Legions of Terror "...and he must be taken alive!" The command will be "...and try to take him alive if it is reasonably practical".

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever argued against a combat rule based on your experience in the SCA, the military, or the police; or because of your degree in medieval history.

Gamer To Avoid
The Kamikaze - He doesn't empathize with his character, and throws him into danger at the drop of a hat. With nothing but a pocket knife, his character will charge the dragon.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My character is not related in anyway to Boba Fett. This goes double for Star Wars characters.
