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...
Booth bunny - A busty young woman, often dressed in a chain mail bikini or some other sexy sci-fi, fantasy, or furry costume, who stands in front of gaming booths at conventions, hoping to lure sex-starved male gamers in to "check out the merchandise".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot, with none of that nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You actually wear that little ankh that comes in the Vampire Live-Action box... in everyday life.

Gamer To Avoid
The Genre-Jumper - He tries to bring in aspects of other genres. In a party with an Elvish druid and ranger, he's the ninja.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm not allowed to spontaneously check if the elf can take a punch.
