Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
If you need to take a break from the game or stop for a meal, give the GM a little warning so that he can find a good stopping point in the action.

Tips for GameMasters
Offer Bonuses - Award experience points based on participation. Reward players for extra effort. If you give bonuses for solving puzzles, coming up with good plans, interacting well with NPCs, and resolving plot points, no single character will be the perpetual "party leader".

From the RPG Glossary...
MUD Law - using normal character creation rules, characters always start out with little power at the bottom of the food chain.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've had a heated debate about how your mage could beat the paladin that could beat the alien in Predator 2.

Gamer To Avoid
The Rules Lawyer - He knows all the rules and uses them to his advantage. He can't stand it when the GM fudges a rule or dice roll to help the story along.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Valley speak has no place in a fantasy setting, especially if I'm a paladin.
