Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Enrich the sub-plot by improvising an element of the story. Make sure these elements do not directly affect the plot.

Tips for GameMasters
Provide Motivation - Few characters are carefree adventurers, willing to delve into the deadliest dungeon simply because it's there. There are safer, easier ways to earn money than slaying monsters. Make sure the characters have a reason to pursue the goal you've set in front of them. The plot should revolve around something that matters to them.

From the RPG Glossary...
Tink - The sound of damage being deflected (such as a knife glancing off armor), or a small amount of damage inflicted during an attack.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You are unable to walk past the latest game supplement without leafing through it, even though you know it's going to be bad.

Gamer To Avoid
The Wallflower - He tries not to be noticed by NPCs and won't interact with them. He finds it difficult to take action without guidance.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot base my ancient Kung Fu master on Gene Simmons or Bluto Blutarski.
