Being a Superhero: Playing Tips

Here are a few tips on how to have more fun playing this, or any, role-playing game.

1) Be Organized: It is too easy to believe that you can remember everything of importance. You should make a practice of writing down often used pieces of game information (weapon statistics, spell effects, etc.) and keeping this information handy during play. It will greatly speed up the flow of the game. Also, don’t expect the Editor to fill you in on everything that your character noticed last week. Your Editor can only tell you what he or she thinks you thought was important, not what you actually thought was important.

2) Show up on Time: If you cannot show up for a scheduled game, try to contact your Editor about this, so she or he can plan accordingly. When games are scheduled, make sure that you really can make it at the agreed upon time. It’s better to schedule a game for 7 PM and show up at 6:30 than to schedule for 6:30 and show up at 7.
