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...
Boat scenario - Any chapter of an adventure which takes place on a boat, thus trapping the PCs in a confined space for a requisite amount of time, with no immediate way for them to escape.

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.
