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
No Monty Haul - Avoid giving your players wealth and power too quickly. If something is acquired easily, it isn't cherished treasure. Extremely powerful characters are difficult to design plots for.

From the RPG Glossary...
Ding - A sound which indicates that a level was gained.

Gaming Humor

When I Am the Evil Overlord...
If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)

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 is required to take levels in the Perform skill and cannot "just play by ear".
