Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Don't hoard puzzle pieces. Some solutions are only obvious after every party member shares his clues. Facts that seem trivial to you may be important to another player.

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...
Point juggling - Practicing min-maxing, or spending a great deal of time evaluating different versions of the same character.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever spent a significant fraction of your life modifying game rules that you didn't like, and as soon as the system worked to your satisfaction, discarded it.

Gamer To Avoid
The Stoic - His character has no strong human emotions. He is never terrified, overjoyed, or awestruck. Nothing causes him to change his perspective or develop as a person.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Before facing the dragon, I'm not allowed to glaze the elf.
