Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Remember that you, the player, know things that your character does not. Keep IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) information separate. Be careful not to let your character act on OOC information.

Tips for GameMasters
Allow Change - Let players change merits and flaws during a campaign, as their characters develop. Players should be able to work towards resolving a flaw, or gain a new one if something traumatic happens.

From the RPG Glossary...
Poke - To cause one point in damage, or the minimal amount of damage possible in a game system.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've ever spent a significant fraction of your life modifying game rules that you didn't like, and as soon as the system worked to your satisfaction, discarded it.

Gamer To Avoid
The Stoic - His character has no strong human emotions. He is never terrified, overjoyed, or awestruck. Nothing causes him to change his perspective or develop as a person.

Things I Learned While Gaming
If the gun can't fit through the x-ray machine, it doesn't go on the plane.
