Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Ask the host ahead of time if you plan to bring guests. Pets and children can be very disruptive to a game session.

Tips for GameMasters
Give Some Hope - The ability of the party to prevail should never depend upon the success or failure of a single action. Even if the PCs can't stop something bad from happening, at least give them the chance to lessen the negative effects. When the players work hard, they should achieve something.

From the RPG Glossary...
Planes - Alternate dimensions, unreachable by normal three-dimensional travel, which may have vastly different environments and laws of physics.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You consider Altoids, ranch-flavored Doritos, Oreos, Coca-Cola and pepperoni & onion pizza a balanced diet (or even an acceptable combination).

Gamer To Avoid
The Stoic - His character has no strong human emotions. He is never terrified, overjoyed, or awestruck. Nothing causes him to change his perspective or develop as a person.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Any capital scale weapon is not "my little friend".
