Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Check the character creation guidelines presented by your GM. Make sure that you understand how many points you have to spend, and any house rules he may be using.

Tips for GameMasters
Party Harmony - Don't allow inter-party conflict to create bad feelings between players, or turn the focus away from the plot. A roleplaying game is not a first person shooter. Even a party of rogues can find logical reasons to be civil to each other.

From the RPG Glossary...
Pixie - An attempt to defeat a foe by frustrating them, usually by delivering a large number of low-damage attacks in such a way that retaliation is extremely difficult.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You consider Altoids, ranch-flavored Doritos, Oreos, Coca-Cola and pepperoni & onion pizza a balanced diet (or even an acceptable combination).

Gamer To Avoid
The Specialist - He's the world's best at one thing, but is completely useless in all other situations. He completely dominates one scene, then sleeps through the next thirty.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Any capital scale weapon is not "my little friend".
