Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Remember that you, the player, know things that your character does not. Keep IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) information separate. Be careful not to let your character act on OOC information.

Tips for GameMasters
Allow Change - Let players change merits and flaws during a campaign, as their characters develop. Players should be able to work towards resolving a flaw, or gain a new one if something traumatic happens.

From the RPG Glossary...
Material component - An item which the magic user must have in hand to cast a particular spell.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever seen the solid brass d6s... and HAD to have them so that they made more noise than everyone else's when you rolled them.

Gamer To Avoid
The Psycho - His character has no regard for others and feels that the normal rules of society don't apply to him. How dare those police try to arrest him for stealing a car?!

Things I Learned While Gaming
There is no such thing as a +1 longsword, +5 against party members.
