Gaming Tips
Tips for Players
Don't hoard puzzle pieces. Some solutions are only obvious after every party member shares his clues. Facts that seem trivial to you may be important to another player.
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...
Paper-thin walls - A feature of poorly-designed maps of structures (such as dungeons), where the designer drew lines to represent walls, but did not take into account that walls have thickness.
Gaming Humor
When I Am the Evil Overlord...
One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
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
A one man band is not an appropriate bard instrument.
