Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Create a character with a good balance of mundane and adventuring skills. Every PC should have a useful role in the party. Talk about your choices with the other players, to make sure that the party has a good variety.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Try to Win - Roleplaying games aren't about winning and losing. An adventure is not a competition between the GM and the players. There's no fun in that - the GM controls the universe and can't lose. It's your job to entertain the players by presenting challenges for them to overcome, rewarding them when they succeed, and telling a good story along the way.
