Gaming Tips
Tips for Players
When spending experience points, give the GM a list of attributes, skills, and traits that have changed. Keep your character sheet up to date. It's a good idea to give the GM an updated copy.
Tips for GameMasters
Dice Don't Rule - The dice are not more important than the story. In general, it's good to follow the rules and rolls, to make a consistent and fair game world. However, don't let a good or bad roll stand in the way of an entertaining story climax. Characters should die because of bad decisions, not bad luck.
From the RPG Glossary...
PC advantage - Refers to the fact that PCs tend to gather experience faster than any other characters around them, are never chosen to die randomly as a plot device, and are usually given much more leeway in of what is and is not survivable.
Gaming Humor
When I Am the Evil Overlord...
One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have three or more dice-boxes - one in use; the others retired, holding seldom-used, antique, faithful dice, or doing duty on the Gaming Shrine.
Gamer To Avoid
The Specialist - He's the world's best at one thing, but is completely useless in all other situations. He completely dominates one scene, then sleeps through the next thirty.
Things I Learned While Gaming
A starting character has no need for 100gp worth of hemp rope.
