Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Show up for the game on time. Call if you're going to be late. If you're going to miss a session, give as much advanced notice as possible.

Tips for GameMasters
No Resurrections - Don't repeatedly bring back the primary villain. He is not Freddy Krueger. The players need to feel that there is a way to win, finally and absolutely. In most circumstances, it is also a bad idea to bring back a fallen PC as an NPC foe.

From the RPG Glossary...
Zerg - To defeat an enemy by force of numbers, or to overwhelm an enemy with a mass of relatively weak and expendable attackers; originates from the game "Starcraft".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever seen the old AD&D TV series.

Gamer To Avoid
The Ace - He creates the epitome of the multi-class character. He wants to be the best at everything. If another player has a shtick, he wants it too.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot play an elf with a Scottish accent, nor a Cajun dwarf.
