Gaming Tips

Tips for Players

Tips for GameMasters
Provide Motivation - Few characters are carefree adventurers, willing to delve into the deadliest dungeon simply because it's there. There are safer, easier ways to earn money than slaying monsters. Make sure the characters have a reason to pursue the goal you've set in front of them. The plot should revolve around something that matters to them.

From the RPG Glossary...
Bestiary - A book or document detailing the appearance and habits of real or imaginary creatures.
