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...
Min-maxing - The practice of playing an RPG with the intent of creating the "best" character by means of minimizing undesired traits and maximizing desired ones, sometimes by improving one specific trait and sacrificing ability in all other fields.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've said "roll initiative" more times than you've sung your country's national anthem.

Gamer To Avoid
The Rollplayer - He doesn't describe his actions. He merely says, "I try to hit it" and rolls the dice.

Things I Learned While Gaming
There is no use of Shatner's spoken word album that doesn't require a humanity check.
