Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
Try to up with a brilliant idea or plan to help your companions succeed. Don't always rely on the "brains" of the party.

Tips for GameMasters
Don't Break Them - Remember that the characters are simulations of real people. Don't be sadistic and push them too far. Prolonged exposure to horror, pain, fear, torture, or misery will break anyone.

From the RPG Glossary...
Deus-Ex GMing - Describes the GM arbitrarily defeating or thwarting the players by spontaneously inventing a story element that they could not have anticipated.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You've written character histories that are longer than most novels.

Gamer To Avoid
The Kamikaze - He doesn't empathize with his character, and throws him into danger at the drop of a hat. With nothing but a pocket knife, his character will charge the dragon.

Things I Learned While Gaming
My bard does not know how to play Inna Godda Davida on maracas.
