Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Ask your GM before buying any unusual traits or skills. Your choices may have an impact on the story. No character is officially in the game until the GM approves it.

Tips for GameMasters
Tailor the Game - Run a genre and style of game that the majority of your players will enjoy. If all of your players love beer and pretzel games, don't run stories with deep moral or philosophical meaning. If they live for hack-n-slash, don't waste your time coming up with clever traps, intricate puzzles, or NPC encounters with social implications.

From the RPG Glossary...
Shadowrun mugging - A ludicrous coordinated effort on the part of the PCs to achieve some goal which an NPC is trying to prevent.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You own your own weight in gaming books.

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 a contractor for Dragon Cave Cleaning Services Inc.
