Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Enrich the sub-plot by improvising an element of the story. Make sure these elements do not directly affect the plot.

Tips for GameMasters
Improvise - You can't plan for everything the players will do. You'll need to improvise places, objects, and people on a regular basis. Keep a list of common names handy. Try to draw from personal experience and media sources. Take notes on any story elements you invent - they may come up again later.

From the RPG Glossary...
Chaotic greedy - A term used to describe the "alignment" of a powergamer, or a character who attempts to steal and horde all the treasure.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You saw "Kindred: The Embraced" and kept yelling that they got it all wrong.

Gamer To Avoid
The Hoarder - He wants all of the loot and can't share equally with the other players. If his character is alone when he finds the treasure chest, no one else will ever know he found it.

Things I Learned While Gaming
If a black op requires me to impersonate an employee, I cannot bill the target for overtime.
