Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
An enjoyable game is as much the responsibility of the players as it is of the GM. The purpose of roleplaying is to create an entertaining story. Participation is essential.

Tips for GameMasters
Limit Cake Walks - Without a sense of challenge, the players won't feel that they have accomplished something amazing when they succeed. The occasional easy mission can make the PCs feel powerful and show them how far they've progressed. If every mission is easy, there's no thrill of victory.

From the RPG Glossary...
Zaibatsu - Synonym for multinational corporation, from the Japanese word meaning "industrial conglomerate".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever seen the old AD&D TV series.

Gamer To Avoid
The Ace - He creates the epitome of the multi-class character. He wants to be the best at everything. If another player has a shtick, he wants it too.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot play an elf with a Scottish accent, nor a Cajun dwarf.
