Teach a skill to another character, allowing them to spend experience points on something new.
Tips for GameMasters
Quick Combat - Unless your players love tactical battles on a hex mat with figurines, use cinematic descriptions of combat actions. Don't let system rules slow down the game to the point where one fight scene takes longer than five roleplay scenes. Reward players who give interesting descriptions of their actions by making them more likely to succeed.
From the RPG Glossary...
Fun sponge - A gamer whose personality flaws detract from everyone's enjoyment of the game.
Gaming Humor
When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button".
You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever found yourself associating with people who you'd otherwise avoid in public - because they were gamers.
Gamer To Avoid
The Lazy Gamer - He doesn't bother to learn the basic game rules and setting. He can't remember if he's supposed to roll high or low, or if starships have warp drives.
Things I Learned While Gaming
My swashbuckling fop cannot take the flaw Dark Secret: Not Gay.
