Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Show up for the game on time. Call if you're going to be late. If you're going to miss a session, give as much advanced notice as possible.

Tips for GameMasters
Avoid Linchpins - Be careful with clues and puzzles. The players will not be able to notice and solve all of them. Make sure that there are several clues pointing toward the same fact. Don't put puzzles in a story that take more than 15 OOC minutes for the players to solve.

From the RPG Glossary...
Bathroom break - When the players have gone as far in the adventure as the GM has read; it is now time for the GM to take a bathroom break and read further into the module while on the can.

Gaming Humor

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You knew that that last question was a ringer - who has more dice than they can use?

Gamer To Avoid
The Freak - He can't roleplay a normal person. He forces everyone else to handle social interactions and cover for his blunders.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
