Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Take notes. Keep important facts together for easy reference. Learn more about the game world as you explore it.

Tips for GameMasters
Flesh Out NPCs - Every NPC should have a slightly different look and feel. Important NPCs should have different personalities, motivations and goals. Try not to stereotype your NPCs - villains don't always lie and heroes don't always tell the truth. Remember that a character may try to contact one of your NPCs again in the future.

From the RPG Glossary...
Packrat Rule - The party will eventually be sent to find an odd magical item or seemingly useless trinket.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have three or more dice-boxes - one in use; the others retired, holding seldom-used, antique, faithful dice, or doing duty on the Gaming Shrine.

Gamer To Avoid
The Specialist - He's the world's best at one thing, but is completely useless in all other situations. He completely dominates one scene, then sleeps through the next thirty.

Things I Learned While Gaming
"Kill them all and let God sort them out" is not a real battle plan.
