Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
NPCs may leave a scene but they never leave the game. You can build an ongoing relationship with them, good or bad. Some NPCs can become patrons, teachers, or mentors.

Tips for GameMasters
Have Variety - An adventure can include action, puzzles, combat, exploration, and social interaction. One game session may have 80% exploration and 20% combat, while the next could have 100% social interaction. A good variety helps keep all of your players entertained.

From the RPG Glossary...
"Lama lama lama" - (also: "num num num") An indication from a player or GM that a character or NPC has begun an incantation to cast a spell; implies the spell requires some time to complete; quoting "Animaniacs".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
The owners of local hobby stores take your checks without ID because they know where you live.

Gamer To Avoid
The Cheater - He spends more character points than he has earned, has bags of endless gear, never runs out of arrows, or fudges dice rolls.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I will not declare myself a god just so I can grant myself spells.
