Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
If you discover an important clue, share it with your companions at the first opportunity.

Tips for GameMasters
No Monty Haul - Avoid giving your players wealth and power too quickly. If something is acquired easily, it isn't cherished treasure. Extremely powerful characters are difficult to design plots for.

From the RPG Glossary...
Sierra game - used to describe an adventure that features a lot of puzzles, traps, colloquial NPCs in fairy-tale villages, and where every object encountered has some eventual significance.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You took geology, sociology, psychology, kendo, archery and horseback riding in college, so you could build a realistic game world.

Gamer To Avoid
The Superstar - He wants all of the adventures and plots to center around his character. He can't share the spotlight.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am not allowed to base any Droid off any character played by Joe Pesci.
