Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Sometimes, villains tell the truth. They also mix fact with falsehood. Listen carefully. "Good guys" may lie or simply be mistaken. Don't believe every word they say.

Tips for GameMasters
Dice Don't Rule - The dice are not more important than the story. In general, it's good to follow the rules and rolls, to make a consistent and fair game world. However, don't let a good or bad roll stand in the way of an entertaining story climax. Characters should die because of bad decisions, not bad luck.

From the RPG Glossary...
[Creature]-bear - A term making fun of a stupid random encounter or type of creature, derived from bugbears and owlbears.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have a dozen wishes in mind for when you come across a magic lamp.

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.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to cook up nerve gas in the sink, even if the target number is 5.
