Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Try to uncover all of the secrets about an NPC. It might come in handy later on.

Tips for GameMasters
Pace the Story - Don't give blow-by-blow descriptions of the boring parts of the story. For example, let the players provide a list of shops they visit and supplies they purchase. Don't make them roleplay walking down each aisle and up to the cash register.

From the RPG Glossary...
Chaotic greedy - A term used to describe the "alignment" of a powergamer, or a character who attempts to steal and horde all the treasure.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You saw "Kindred: The Embraced" and kept yelling that they got it all wrong.

Gamer To Avoid
The Hoarder - He wants all of the loot and can't share equally with the other players. If his character is alone when he finds the treasure chest, no one else will ever know he found it.

Things I Learned While Gaming
If a black op requires me to impersonate an employee, I cannot bill the target for overtime.
