Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
There is always more than one solution to any problem. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Never fail to follow obvious leads or ask basic questions.

Tips for GameMasters
Be Descriptive - Most of the time, the player's only window into the game world is through your words. Describe what they see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. The details you provide build the scene, both tactically and emotionally. Instead of "big hairy monster", try "a massive man-like beast, nearly 8' tall, with bulging muscles, large black eyes, blunt claws, and thick fur like a bear in winter..."

From the RPG Glossary...
"Gratz!" - Short form of "congratulations".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I decide to test a lieutenant's loyalty and see if he/she should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
Your most important criteria for a mate is that they're a gamer, too.

Gamer To Avoid
The In-Fighter - He frequently instigates conflict with other player's characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
In formal introductions to royalty, I must not introduce my companions as just "the other guys".
