Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Use the proper character sheet for the game. Double-check the math when you are done creating your character. Check the spelling and grammar in your background. Write legibly.

Tips for GameMasters
Define Realism - Explain up front how epic or gritty the setting is. Will the characters need to worry about holding down a job, paying taxes on time, and avoiding parking tickets while being adventurers? Do they need to keep track of every dollar or copper piece they spend? Are you using strict encumbrance rules? Can the players purchase cinematic advantages for their characters? Do they need to start with mundane or extraordinary backgrounds?

From the RPG Glossary...
Mecha - Powered robotic battle-armor and/or vehicles, usually piloted by or cybernetically linked to a human operator.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You think to yourself upon seeing d100... why not just use percentile dice?

Gamer To Avoid
The Psycho - His character has no regard for others and feels that the normal rules of society don't apply to him. How dare those police try to arrest him for stealing a car?!

Things I Learned While Gaming
There is no such thing as a Club +3 of Cup Checks.
