Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
There is always more than one solution to any problem. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Never fail to follow obvious leads or ask basic questions.

Tips for GameMasters
Be Descriptive - Most of the time, the player's only window into the game world is through your words. Describe what they see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. The details you provide build the scene, both tactically and emotionally. Instead of "big hairy monster", try "a massive man-like beast, nearly 8' tall, with bulging muscles, large black eyes, blunt claws, and thick fur like a bear in winter..."

From the RPG Glossary...
"Fezzik, jog his memory" - Phrase instructing the strongest, and usually largest, character in the party to violently extract information; quoting "The Princess Bride".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You knew what was meant by TS:SI.

Gamer To Avoid
The Avenging Wallflower - He stays out of the action, quietly in the background until the critical moment when his single, incredibly powerful skill comes into play. At that time, he leaps into action and makes the rest of the party look pathetically weak.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I do not have a scorching case of lycanthropy.
