Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
There is always more than one solution to any problem. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Never fail to follow obvious leads or ask basic questions.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Be Verbose - Avoid giving long, wordy descriptions of unimportant factors. Don't give a five minute long description of the NPCs exotic sports car, just because you love hot cars. Unless it affects the plot, reveal only the basic details.

From the RPG Glossary...
Pulling a Viggo Mortensen - Describes a character that keeps their armor on all the time, even at when sleeping; originates from the movie "The Lord of the Rings".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've been known to have in-depth conversations about the relative merits of Champions, V&V, Marvel, and DC Heroes... ignoring the fact that all superhero systems are intrinsically weak.

Gamer To Avoid
The Strategist - He is a wargamer at the wrong table. He spends a lot of OOC time concocting elaborate plans to handle contested situations.

Things I Learned While Gaming
Duels wielding small animals are strictly forbidden.
