Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Participate in all aspects of the game. Do not force others to do all of the negotiating, monster slaying, tactical planning, or puzzle solving. Help out when you can.

Tips for GameMasters
Be Their Eyes - Pay attention to the character's passive detection abilities. Don't make them ask what they sense every scene. If a character can see ghosts at any time, without using a device or casting a spell, check to see if he notices whenever one comes within line of sight.

From the RPG Glossary...
Light coin - A coin that has had a light spell cast upon it; fantasy characters use these instead of lanterns to see in the dark, as they are easier to carry and less fragile/flammable.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstances have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You still watch Excalibur every time it comes on.

Gamer To Avoid
The Powergamer - His goal is to have the most powerful character in the game. He takes advantage of rules loopholes, and plays only the strongest races and classes. He is too competitive to enjoy the story or share the rewards.

Things I Learned While Gaming
There is no Gnomish Deathgrip, and even if there was, it wouldn't involve tongs.
