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
Don't Abuse Power - Players enjoy a logical, balanced game. Avoid making arbitrary decisions. You are the interface between the players and a virtual world. It's not your world, existing simply to show off your creativity as a designer. It is the setting in which enjoyable stories should take place.

From the RPG Glossary...
"Run away! Run away!" - Exclamation used when running in retreat from very bad circumstances; quoting "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all my troops out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in the local paper.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have a random NPC generator, written in BASIC, designed to run on the Trash-80 or the Commodore 64.

Gamer To Avoid
The Combat-Monger - He couldn't care less about the story, and doesn't pay attention until the fighting begins.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm no longer allowed to set propaganda music to a snappy disco beat.
