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...
Tin can - A character who derives his powers from a mechanical body suit.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You are unable to walk past the latest game supplement without leafing through it, even though you know it's going to be bad.

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 cannot base my ancient Kung Fu master on Gene Simmons or Bluto Blutarski.
