Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
An enjoyable game is as much the responsibility of the players as it is of the GM. The purpose of roleplaying is to create an entertaining story. Participation is essential.

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...
3rd edition prophet - Any player who constantly points out rules differences between editions.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have a dozen wishes in mind for when you come across a magic lamp.

Gamer To Avoid
The Coward - He won't risk losing his character. He stays in the back, away from the action and out of harm's way. He lets everyone else take the risks.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to create a character who is over 100 years old unless he's an elf or dwarf. Humans are right out.
