Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
At the end of an adventure, not all of the implications of an encounter may have been revealed. Review your notes. See if you may have overlooked something, or finally have all the pieces necessary to solve a mystery.

Tips for GameMasters
Have a Framework - Not every adventure needs to be completely fleshed out, however, you need a framework. The adventure needs to have a purpose, such as finding a lost ruin, recovering an artifact, meeting an important NPC, defeating a monster, or discovering a vital clue. Come up with one or more encounters which will lead the PCs toward that goal.

From the RPG Glossary...
Skin elasticity factor - used to refer to rules that are too complex, esoteric, unnecessary, or unwieldy.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You took geology, sociology, psychology, kendo, archery and horseback riding in college, so you could build a realistic game world.

Gamer To Avoid
The Superstar - He wants all of the adventures and plots to center around his character. He can't share the spotlight.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am not allowed to convince the entire party to sit on the same side of the table.
