Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
When spending experience points, give the GM a list of attributes, skills, and traits that have changed. Keep your character sheet up to date. It's a good idea to give the GM an updated copy.

Tips for GameMasters
Dice Don't Rule - The dice are not more important than the story. In general, it's good to follow the rules and rolls, to make a consistent and fair game world. However, don't let a good or bad roll stand in the way of an entertaining story climax. Characters should die because of bad decisions, not bad luck.

From the RPG Glossary...
Bathroom break - When the players have gone as far in the adventure as the GM has read; it is now time for the GM to take a bathroom break and read further into the module while on the can.

Gaming Humor

I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You knew that that last question was a ringer - who has more dice than they can use?

Gamer To Avoid
The Freak - He can't roleplay a normal person. He forces everyone else to handle social interactions and cover for his blunders.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to name my cudgel Ceremonial Whoopass Stick.
