Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Take notes. Keep important facts together for easy reference. Learn more about the game world as you explore it.

Tips for GameMasters
Flesh Out NPCs - Every NPC should have a slightly different look and feel. Important NPCs should have different personalities, motivations and goals. Try not to stereotype your NPCs - villains don't always lie and heroes don't always tell the truth. Remember that a character may try to contact one of your NPCs again in the future.

From the RPG Glossary...
Watcher group - Generic term for an organization of normal humans who observe and study the supernatural, usually with minimal involvement.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You alternate between referring to your characters in the first and the third person... and none of your friends gets confused.

Gamer To Avoid
The Ace - He creates the epitome of the multi-class character. He wants to be the best at everything. If another player has a shtick, he wants it too.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot make called shots to the plectrum, anvil, stirrup, hammer or Isle of Langerhans.
