Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Learn something significant about another player's character. Don't travel with strangers, or ignore another character's shtick.

Tips for GameMasters
Improvise - You can't plan for everything the players will do. You'll need to improvise places, objects, and people on a regular basis. Keep a list of common names handy. Try to draw from personal experience and media sources. Take notes on any story elements you invent - they may come up again later.

From the RPG Glossary...
Bob - A low level NPC henchman who is seemingly indestructible because the GM rolls really well for him, or any friendly NPC introduced by the GM with the clear intent of killing him off sometime later in the adventure.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You actually wear that little ankh that comes in the Vampire Live-Action box... in everyday life.

Gamer To Avoid
The Genre-Jumper - He tries to bring in aspects of other genres. In a party with an Elvish druid and ranger, he's the ninja.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to serenade the party even if my character has an internal tape deck.
