Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
If you discover an important clue, share it with your companions at the first opportunity.

Tips for GameMasters
Limit Cake Walks - Without a sense of challenge, the players won't feel that they have accomplished something amazing when they succeed. The occasional easy mission can make the PCs feel powerful and show them how far they've progressed. If every mission is easy, there's no thrill of victory.

From the RPG Glossary...
Dungeon crawl - An adventure set in a series of underground catacombs populated by monsters borrowed from horror films and mythology; characters slay the monsters, foil traps, and solve puzzles to gain treasure and experience.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as soon as it has been employed it will be melted down and made into limited-edition commemorative coins.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You watch war documentaries with GURPS Vehicles so you can tell how much damage the 4-inch naval gun using an APX shell does.

Gamer To Avoid
The Kamikaze - He doesn't empathize with his character, and throws him into danger at the drop of a hat. With nothing but a pocket knife, his character will charge the dragon.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My character's names cannot be anagrams of playboy playmates.
