Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
NPCs may leave a scene but they never leave the game. You can build an ongoing relationship with them, good or bad. Some NPCs can become patrons, teachers, or mentors.

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...
Zero-phase soliloquy - In turn-based roleplaying, during combat rounds, the act of a character giving a speech that pauses all other actions until it is complete; originates from the RPG "Champions".

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've ever seen the old AD&D TV series.

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 quote Shakespeare in Crinos.
