Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
If there is a particular subplot would you like to pursue, or a topic you wish to avoid, let the GM know. Give him constructive feedback about what you liked, or didn't like, in the adventure.

Tips for GameMasters
No Favoritism - Reward players equally for equal effort and participation. Don't favor a particular race, class, concept, or party role.

From the RPG Glossary...
NPC theater - A scene when NPCs, typically more powerful than the PCs, take over a scene; the PCs become mere spectators to the action.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labeled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labeled as such.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You actually know the name of the Predator species (Yautja).

Gamer To Avoid
The Rules Lawyer - He knows all the rules and uses them to his advantage. He can't stand it when the GM fudges a rule or dice roll to help the story along.

Things I Learned While Gaming
When investigating evil cultists, I'm not allowed to just torch the decrepit mansion from the outside.
