Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Ask the host ahead of time if you plan to bring guests. Pets and children can be very disruptive to a game session.

Tips for GameMasters
Check Game Balance - Make sure that the PCs are equally powerful when the game begins. Compare the PCs to the monsters, traps, and NPCs you plan to put in their path. Do they have the power, skills, and equipment they'll need for a chance to succeed?

From the RPG Glossary...
Graveyard Rule - All graveyards are haunted, have a secret passage, are plagued by undead, or were the site of a dark and sinister event.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
After I captures the hero's superweapon, I will not immediately disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever spent more time in a single gaming session than a Jerry Lewis Marathon... and you do this regularly.

Gamer To Avoid
The Loony - Similar to the Joker, his sense of humor damages the plot through bizarre actions. When asked to stun the ogre, rather than casting a spell, he runs up and kisses it.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Sliver rhymes with silver because the computer frelling says so.
