Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Check the character creation guidelines presented by your GM. Make sure that you understand how many points you have to spend, and any house rules he may be using.

Tips for GameMasters
Allow Creativity - Let the players come up with alternate solutions to encounters. They may think of something clever that you didn't. Try to be realistic. The green key may open the green door, but a grenade will probably blast it open too. Few things are more frustrating for a player than trying to guess the GMs one-and-only answer.

From the RPG Glossary...
Pet Class Rule - Every RPG system has one character class or race that is inherently more powerful than the others.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You consider Altoids, ranch-flavored Doritos, Oreos, Coca-Cola and pepperoni & onion pizza a balanced diet (or even an acceptable combination).

Gamer To Avoid
The Specialist - He's the world's best at one thing, but is completely useless in all other situations. He completely dominates one scene, then sleeps through the next thirty.

Things I Learned While Gaming
A wet towel does not constitute an improvised weapon.
