Gaming Tips
Tips for Players
At the end of an adventure, not all of the implications of an encounter may have been revealed. Review your notes. See if you may have overlooked something, or finally have all the pieces necessary to solve a mystery.
Tips for GameMasters
Move the Spotlight - Give every character a chance to prove themselves by making them the focus of a subplot. A good way to do this is to bring up a disadvantage, a contact, or something dark from their background. Not only will they get an emotional kick, they'll have a chance to earn bonus XP. They'll also come to appreciate the extra work and stress endured by a party leader.
From the RPG Glossary...
"When we last left our heroes..." - (also: "when we last met") Introduction by GM before summarizing the events that transpired during the previous RPG session.
Gaming Humor
When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.
You Might Be A Gamer If...
You can be more than three NPCs at the same time without generating more than reasonable confusion in your players.
Gamer To Avoid
The Combat-Monger - He couldn't care less about the story, and doesn't pay attention until the fighting begins.
Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to bribe the enemy commander into withdrawing with a stolen Elvis LP collection.
