Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Don't assume that every challenge can be solved on the first encounter. It may be best to return later when you have more clues, power, or the proper equipment.

Tips for GameMasters
No Resurrections - Don't repeatedly bring back the primary villain. He is not Freddy Krueger. The players need to feel that there is a way to win, finally and absolutely. In most circumstances, it is also a bad idea to bring back a fallen PC as an NPC foe.

From the RPG Glossary...
"...but that would be showing off" - Phrase uttered by powergamers after they have explained what they could've done if they really abused the game system.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky time-travel devices.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You keep old characters around just in case someone might run that system again (never mind that it's TS:SI).

Gamer To Avoid
The Avenging Wallflower - He stays out of the action, quietly in the background until the critical moment when his single, incredibly powerful skill comes into play. At that time, he leaps into action and makes the rest of the party look pathetically weak.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I cannot use my time machine to hire Hitler a hooker in 1920, thus avoiding WW2.
