Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Read about the genre and setting in which the campaign takes place. Find out what sort of races, classes, and concepts fit into the genre. Determine how gritty the setting is. Ask how mundane or extraordinary your character's background should be.

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...
Game time - Measurement of the passage of time in the world of a game; not the actual, literal passage of time according to the clock on the wall in the real world.

Gaming Humor

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever found yourself associating with people who you'd otherwise avoid in public - because they were gamers.

Gamer To Avoid
The Lazy Gamer - He doesn't bother to learn the basic game rules and setting. He can't remember if he's supposed to roll high or low, or if starships have warp drives.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My thief's battle cry is not "Run and live!"
