Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
An enjoyable game is as much the responsibility of the players as it is of the GM. The purpose of roleplaying is to create an entertaining story. Participation is essential.

Tips for GameMasters
Limit Cake Walks - Without a sense of challenge, the players won't feel that they have accomplished something amazing when they succeed. The occasional easy mission can make the PCs feel powerful and show them how far they've progressed. If every mission is easy, there's no thrill of victory.

From the RPG Glossary...
Failing a random encounter - To run into a person whom you dislike or try to avoid.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No".

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've had a heated debate about how your mage could beat the paladin that could beat the alien in Predator 2.

Gamer To Avoid
The Rules Lawyer - He knows all the rules and uses them to his advantage. He can't stand it when the GM fudges a rule or dice roll to help the story along.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Whatever monster we just killed is not to be tonight's dinner.
