Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Try to significantly help further the main plot, or resolve a sub-plot. Don't make another player do all the work.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Break Them - Remember that the characters are simulations of real people. Don't be sadistic and push them too far. Prolonged exposure to horror, pain, fear, torture, or misery will break anyone.

From the RPG Glossary...
Cute Animal Rule - Any small, cute animal encountered will either be comedic relief or insanely deadly.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged contest, even though my advisors assure me it is impossible for them to win.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You take notes from books for character histories.

Gamer To Avoid
The Joker - His sense of humor comes up at inappropriate times, or isn't considered funny by others. He destroys the mood of a scene by cracking jokes or making off-color comments, either IC or OOC.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My 7th Sea character Boudreaux is not the Southern Montaigne.
