Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Enrich the sub-plot by improvising an element of the story. Make sure these elements do not directly affect the plot.

Tips for GameMasters
Improvise - You can't plan for everything the players will do. You'll need to improvise places, objects, and people on a regular basis. Keep a list of common names handy. Try to draw from personal experience and media sources. Take notes on any story elements you invent - they may come up again later.

From the RPG Glossary...
Bio-break - A trip to the restroom.

You like one of the above systems enough that you yelped when they were called "weak".

Gamer To Avoid

Things I Learned While Gaming
