Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Interact well with NPCs, whether they are friend or foe. Treat them like real people.

Tips for GameMasters
Be Dramatic - Major events in the story should be memorable. Something that impresses or intimidates a character is likely to seem larger-than-life. If a PC dies, make sure it's a particularly tragic or heroic death that fits into the storyline.

From the RPG Glossary...
Clockpunk - An alternate-history setting in which the fabulous clockwork inventions of the Renaissance (such as those of Michelangelo and Da Vinci) actually work.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
Your most important criteria for a mate is that they're a gamer, too.

Gamer To Avoid
The In-Fighter - He frequently instigates conflict with other player's characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
If the party always starts the adventure in a tavern, I cannot opt to start in a brothel.
