Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Learn something significant about another player's character. Don't travel with strangers, or ignore another character's shtick.

Tips for GameMasters
Improvise - You can't plan for everything the players will do. You'll need to improvise places, objects, and people on a regular basis. Keep a list of common names handy. Try to draw from personal experience and media sources. Take notes on any story elements you invent - they may come up again later.

From the RPG Glossary...
Great Demon Affeffeffeffe - Refers to any boring and overly self-important demon or demonic nasty, usually used to denote annoyance at the plot involving said infernal entity.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
After I captures the hero's superweapon, I will not immediately disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever spent more time in a single gaming session than a Jerry Lewis Marathon... and you do this regularly.

Gamer To Avoid
The Loony - Similar to the Joker, his sense of humor damages the plot through bizarre actions. When asked to stun the ogre, rather than casting a spell, he runs up and kisses it.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Sliver rhymes with silver because the computer frelling says so.
