Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Act true to your character. Have a distinct and interesting personality. Roleplaying your quirks, mental and social characteristics.

Tips for GameMasters
Avoid Scripts - Don't try to run your favorite book, movie, or TV show episode as a linear adventure. The PCs are not the characters from the show. They won't make the same decisions. They'll find their own solutions to the situations they're presented with.

From the RPG Glossary...
8-Bit plot - The most simplistic, oldest RPG plot in which you play the legendary hero questing to kill the biggest monster in the world.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have a dozen wishes in mind for when you come across a magic lamp.

Gamer To Avoid
The Coward - He won't risk losing his character. He stays in the back, away from the action and out of harm's way. He lets everyone else take the risks.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to do anything I saw Han Solo do once.
