Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
If you need to take a break from the game or stop for a meal, give the GM a little warning so that he can find a good stopping point in the action.

Tips for GameMasters
Offer Bonuses - Award experience points based on participation. Reward players for extra effort. If you give bonuses for solving puzzles, coming up with good plans, interacting well with NPCs, and resolving plot points, no single character will be the perpetual "party leader".

From the RPG Glossary...
16-Bit plot - A standard RPG plot in which you play the leader of a small rebel band destined to overthrow the corrupt empire, sometimes as a former soldier of that empire.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.

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 am not authorized to start any civil engineering project on the taxpayer's dime.
