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...
Godlike - Excellent overall, high-powered, highly desirable.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send the same group out to try the task again.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever spent more time in a single gaming session than a Jerry Lewis Marathon... and you do this regularly.

Gamer To Avoid
The Loony - Similar to the Joker, his sense of humor damages the plot through bizarre actions. When asked to stun the ogre, rather than casting a spell, he runs up and kisses it.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Polka Gnomes exist only in my mind.
