Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Participate in all aspects of the game. Everyone will have his turn in the spotlight. Don't fall asleep if you're not the main focus of the story.

Tips for GameMasters
Remember Traits - Pay attention to the merits and flaws of each character. These traits should have an impact on encounters. Don't let a player make a powerful character by taking several major flaws that never come up. Let a character shine when there's a chance to use his merit.

From the RPG Glossary...
Claw claw bite - A series of attacks delivered by a dangerous foe in a single round, usually referring to the classic attack sequence employed by D&D dragons.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've bought a game even though you didn't like the genre or the rules, so that you could fix the rules and convert them to a different genre.

Gamer To Avoid
The In-Fighter - He frequently instigates conflict with other player's characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
If the mere thought of it costs the others sanity, I'm forbidden from doing it.
