Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
When spending experience points, give the GM a list of attributes, skills, and traits that have changed. Keep your character sheet up to date. It's a good idea to give the GM an updated copy.

Tips for GameMasters
Dice Don't Rule - The dice are not more important than the story. In general, it's good to follow the rules and rolls, to make a consistent and fair game world. However, don't let a good or bad roll stand in the way of an entertaining story climax. Characters should die because of bad decisions, not bad luck.

From the RPG Glossary...
Tank - A character in a party who is placed in front in the marching order; this character is usually the toughest, drawing attacks and attacking first, so that he takes the majority of damage.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcement and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his sidekick.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You could paper your bathroom in different versions of just ONE character.

Gamer To Avoid
The Wallflower - He tries not to be noticed by NPCs and won't interact with them. He finds it difficult to take action without guidance.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am to remind my GM that he must never, ever give my paladin a dire boar for a mount again.
