Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Teach a skill to another character, allowing them to spend experience points on something new.

Tips for GameMasters
Pace the Story - Don't give blow-by-blow descriptions of the boring parts of the story. For example, let the players provide a list of shops they visit and supplies they purchase. Don't make them roleplay walking down each aisle and up to the cash register.

From the RPG Glossary...
Captain cuisinart - Nickname for a character, usually a warrior, who can deal very large amounts of damage in a single combat round; those using blades or two weapons simultaneously are especially appropriate.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and properly grounded.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever found yourself associating with people who you'd otherwise avoid in public - because they were gamers.

Gamer To Avoid
The Lazy Gamer - He doesn't bother to learn the basic game rules and setting. He can't remember if he's supposed to roll high or low, or if starships have warp drives.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My third wish cannot be "I wish you wouldn't grant this wish".
