Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Participate in all aspects of the game. Everyone will have his turn in the spotlight. Don't fall asleep if you're not the main focus of the story.

Tips for GameMasters
Remember Traits - Pay attention to the merits and flaws of each character. These traits should have an impact on encounters. Don't let a player make a powerful character by taking several major flaws that never come up. Let a character shine when there's a chance to use his merit.

From the RPG Glossary...
John Crichton effect - The upsetting of a party or its plans by the introduction of a new PC in the middle of an adventure.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've actually played an RPG online.

Gamer To Avoid
The Powergamer - His goal is to have the most powerful character in the game. He takes advantage of rules loopholes, and plays only the strongest races and classes. He is too competitive to enjoy the story or share the rewards.

Things I Learned While Gaming
The paladin's alignment is not Lawful Anal.
