Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Create a character with a good balance of mundane and adventuring skills. Every PC should have a useful role in the party. Talk about your choices with the other players, to make sure that the party has a good variety.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Abuse Power - Players enjoy a logical, balanced game. Avoid making arbitrary decisions. You are the interface between the players and a virtual world. It's not your world, existing simply to show off your creativity as a designer. It is the setting in which enjoyable stories should take place.

From the RPG Glossary...
Safe place - A hypothetical place where fantasy gamers camp when the GM is too busy to bother with small details, or when their characters are heavily damaged and on the run.

Gaming Humor

Gamer To Avoid

Things I Learned While Gaming
