Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Be loyal to your companions. One day, they'll be the only thing standing between you and certain doom.

Tips for GameMasters
Have Variety - An adventure can include action, puzzles, combat, exploration, and social interaction. One game session may have 80% exploration and 20% combat, while the next could have 100% social interaction. A good variety helps keep all of your players entertained.

From the RPG Glossary...
"Only a dream can kill a dream" - Phrase indicating that the foe in question can only be defeated by someone imbued with supernatural power, usually the heroic PCs; quoting "Big Trouble in Little China".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all my troops out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in the local paper.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You have a random NPC generator, written in BASIC, designed to run on the Trash-80 or the Commodore 64.

Gamer To Avoid
The Combat-Monger - He couldn't care less about the story, and doesn't pay attention until the fighting begins.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I'm no longer allowed to recreate the Death Star Trench Run out of genre.
