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...
Second Best Rule - if the PCs find a legendary one-of-a-kind weapon, their nemesis will have one that is even more powerful.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unraveled.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You compulsively mail or ship things to people (sometimes at great expense) because whatever it is reminds you of their character.

Gamer To Avoid
The Powergamer - His goal is to have the most powerful character in the game. He takes advantage of rules loopholes, and plays only the strongest races and classes. He is too competitive to enjoy the story or share the rewards.

Things I Learned While Gaming
There is no annoy setting on a phaser
