Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Take notes. Keep important facts together for easy reference. Learn more about the game world as you explore it.

Tips for GameMasters
Flesh Out NPCs - Every NPC should have a slightly different look and feel. Important NPCs should have different personalities, motivations and goals. Try not to stereotype your NPCs - villains don't always lie and heroes don't always tell the truth. Remember that a character may try to contact one of your NPCs again in the future.

From the RPG Glossary...
Vorpal bunny - Term describing any seemingly harmless, but actually quite lethal creature; a concept borrowed from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he's my trusted lieutenant.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You talk about your characters as if they are real people.

Gamer To Avoid
The Whiner - He can't stand it when things don't go his way. He feels picked on when his character suffers from a botched roll or takes damage.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot insert the words "Kill Phil, Sorry Phil" into any list of instructions.
