Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Don't hoard puzzle pieces. Some solutions are only obvious after every party member shares his clues. Facts that seem trivial to you may be important to another player.

Tips for GameMasters
Flesh Out NPCs - Every NPC should have a slightly different look and feel. Important NPCs should have different personalities, motivations and goals. Try not to stereotype your NPCs - villains don't always lie and heroes don't always tell the truth. Remember that a character may try to contact one of your NPCs again in the future.

From the RPG Glossary...
Hand-to-hand grenade combat - A reference to any amazingly bone-headed move made during a combat session.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
Your character gets more mail than you do.

Gamer To Avoid
The Munchkin - He is concerned only with his own immediate gratification. If he doesn't win every time, he complains.

Things I Learned While Gaming
The Dutch language does not exist in the Forgotten Realms.
