Advice For The Other Players

Just making things up as you go, while relying on the Game Master to take care of all the rules, is not all there is to a game. Players should understand their character's abilities, engage in the story and the world presented, and work well with the others on the team. Keep in mind that the Game Master is a player too! Everyone is there to have fun and it's each player's responsibility to contribute to that enjoyment.

This page offers tips to enhance storytelling skills, create better characters, and become a more skilled player overall.
