Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
While the game is in progress, keep the OOC talk at the table to a minimum. Off-topic chatter can be distracting and frustrating to those people who are enjoying the game. If you make a side comment, make it clear whether you are speaking as your character or as yourself.

Tips for GameMasters
Know Their Minds - Understand the short and long term goals of each PC and player. While you are running adventures to forward the main plot, there should be room for subplots that center on these goals. Get feedback from the players to improve your storytelling skills and tailor the story to your audience.

From the RPG Glossary...
Lasersharking - improving the power of an already immensely effective item by combining it with another potent item.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unraveled.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You compulsively mail or ship things to people (sometimes at great expense) because whatever it is reminds you of their character.

Gamer To Avoid
The Powergamer - His goal is to have the most powerful character in the game. He takes advantage of rules loopholes, and plays only the strongest races and classes. He is too competitive to enjoy the story or share the rewards.

Things I Learned While Gaming
