Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Ask your GM before buying any unusual traits or skills. Your choices may have an impact on the story. No character is officially in the game until the GM approves it.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Abuse Power - Players enjoy a logical, balanced game. Avoid making arbitrary decisions. You are the interface between the players and a virtual world. It's not your world, existing simply to show off your creativity as a designer. It is the setting in which enjoyable stories should take place.

From the RPG Glossary...
Hexahedron - A 6-sided polyhedron (die), classically used to roll damage and hit points in the Dungeons & Dragons game. The sum of 3d6 (three six-sided die rolls) is also used in many games to generate attributes or make a skill check.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead I will say this his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)

You Might Be A Gamer If...
Your character gets more mail than you do.

Gamer To Avoid
The Munchkin - He is concerned only with his own immediate gratification. If he doesn't win every time, he complains.

Things I Learned While Gaming
The elf's name is not Legolam.
