Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Create a character with a good balance of mundane and adventuring skills. Every PC should have a useful role in the party. Talk about your choices with the other players, to make sure that the party has a good variety.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Abuse Power - Players enjoy a logical, balanced game. Avoid making arbitrary decisions. You are the interface between the players and a virtual world. It's not your world, existing simply to show off your creativity as a designer. It is the setting in which enjoyable stories should take place.

From the RPG Glossary...
"Marines, we are leaving!" - Exclamation often heard from players who are retreating or quitting a mission; often used as reaction to a particularly grim encounter; quoting "Aliens".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
The owners of local hobby stores take your checks without ID because they know where you live.

Gamer To Avoid
The Cheater - He spends more character points than he has earned, has bags of endless gear, never runs out of arrows, or fudges dice rolls.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I will not load any Gatling weapon with nothing but paint rounds.
