Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Act true to your character. Have a distinct and interesting personality. Roleplaying your quirks, mental and social characteristics.

Tips for GameMasters
Have a Framework - Not every adventure needs to be completely fleshed out, however, you need a framework. The adventure needs to have a purpose, such as finding a lost ruin, recovering an artifact, meeting an important NPC, defeating a monster, or discovering a vital clue. Come up with one or more encounters which will lead the PCs toward that goal.

From the RPG Glossary...
404 - Missing in action, daydreaming, or failing to remember something the player was expected to know, derived from the error code for a missing web page.

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 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 will pick a more traditional paladin weapon instead of a sledgehammer.
