Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Don't hoard puzzle pieces. Some solutions are only obvious after every party member shares his clues. Facts that seem trivial to you may be important to another player.

Tips for GameMasters
No Resurrections - Don't repeatedly bring back the primary villain. He is not Freddy Krueger. The players need to feel that there is a way to win, finally and absolutely. In most circumstances, it is also a bad idea to bring back a fallen PC as an NPC foe.

From the RPG Glossary...
"...and there was much rejoicing" - Phrase referring to generic merriment or celebration, usually eliciting the response "Yay..." from all players; quoting "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You keep old characters around just in case someone might run that system again (never mind that it's TS:SI).

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 start the 7th Sea campaign with 3 confirmed Drachen kills.
