Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Trust and respect the GM. He is not competing with, nor attempting to defeat, the players. He is the final authority at the gaming table. If you disagree with one of his decisions during game play, speak with him calmly after the session is over.

Tips for GameMasters
Avoid Grimtooth - Don't abuse traps. When traps are overused, they seem like arbitrary attempts to kill characters. The story bogs down when the PCs have to check every door and chest before touching it. Trap placement should be logical. How does the wizard move around in his own tower?

From the RPG Glossary...
Splatbook - A sourcebook devoted to a particular facet or fictional faction in an RPG; splatbooks usually provide additional background details and rules options for archetypes, races, or classes within the game.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You keep having dreams where you are your character... and you think it is neat, rather than consulting a professional.

Gamer To Avoid
The Twink - He manipulates the game system to make his character as powerful as possible. He plays a character of a higher level than the rest of his party, or inherits items and abilities from previous characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am not allowed to rub the monk's head for luck. I am not allowed to rub any part of the elf chick for any reason.
