Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Try to up with a brilliant idea or plan to help your companions succeed. Don't always rely on the "brains" of the party.

Tips for GameMasters
Have Variety - An adventure can include action, puzzles, combat, exploration, and social interaction. One game session may have 80% exploration and 20% combat, while the next could have 100% social interaction. A good variety helps keep all of your players entertained.

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.
