Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Trust and respect the GM. He is not competing with, nor attempting to defeat, the players. He is the final authority at the gaming table. If you disagree with one of his decisions during game play, speak with him calmly after the session is over.

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...
Foop - To disappear instantaneously or magically.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You buy CDs of specific music (or sounds) just to use as background atmosphere for gaming.

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 Samedi is required to have dots in Obfuscate. Plural, as in more than one.
