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
Have a Framework - Not every adventure needs to be completely fleshed out, however, you need a framework. The adventure needs to have a purpose, such as finding a lost ruin, recovering an artifact, meeting an important NPC, defeating a monster, or discovering a vital clue. Come up with one or more encounters which will lead the PCs toward that goal.

From the RPG Glossary...
Farnsworth combat - A combat system where injury causes no negative effects until the character runs out of hit points, he fights normally until he falls over dead.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You collect building plans to use as site maps for games.

Gamer To Avoid
