Gaming Tips

Tips for Players
There is always more than one solution to any problem. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. Never fail to follow obvious leads or ask basic questions.

Tips for GameMasters
Be Descriptive - Most of the time, the player's only window into the game world is through your words. Describe what they see, hear, feel, smell, and taste. The details you provide build the scene, both tactically and emotionally. Instead of "big hairy monster", try "a massive man-like beast, nearly 8' tall, with bulging muscles, large black eyes, blunt claws, and thick fur like a bear in winter..."

From the RPG Glossary...
"Frack!" - A pseudo-profane expletive; originates from "Battlestar Galactica".

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way -- even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.

You Might Be A Gamer If...
You own your own weight in gaming books.

Gamer To Avoid
The Superstar - He wants all of the adventures and plots to center around his character. He can't share the spotlight.

Things I Learned While Gaming
I am not a contractor for Dragon Cave Cleaning Services Inc.
