Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Read the rules for your character's traits and special abilities. Make sure you understand how they work and when they come into play.

Tips for GameMasters
Define Realism - Explain up front how epic or gritty the setting is. Will the characters need to worry about holding down a job, paying taxes on time, and avoiding parking tickets while being adventurers? Do they need to keep track of every dollar or copper piece they spend? Are you using strict encumbrance rules? Can the players purchase cinematic advantages for their characters? Do they need to start with mundane or extraordinary backgrounds?

From the RPG Glossary...
Somatic component - The physical gestures or movements a magic user must make to cast a particular spell.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bedchamber.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You keep having dreams where you are your character... and you think it is neat, rather than consulting a professional.

Gamer To Avoid
The Twink - He manipulates the game system to make his character as powerful as possible. He plays a character of a higher level than the rest of his party, or inherits items and abilities from previous characters.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am not allowed to polymorph anyone into Abe Vigoda.
