Tips for players

[Charakan]

Never say nice doggie to a Vargr.

Never say nice pussy to a female Aslan.

And Never trust a Hiver.

When a Yak gets grumpy, better call a Tibetan.

(Well, yes, it is somewhat setting specific ... )

Never offer a K'Kree a hamburger.

Never read this topic while drinking... :shock:

but it's still a cool quote !

 

[AndrewW]

Never wear a red shirt.

Never wear a red shirt.

That's not true, My characters all have very nice red Hawaiian print shirts, they allow the gunbunnies of the crew know where not to shoot....

And the offical colour of the Imperial Marines is Maroon....

Ok, then you can be the sacrificial lamb.

Ah, so this is where the term "Marooning" comes from: Bringing some-
one into a hopeless and cruel situation by forcing him to join the Impe-
rial Marines and to wear a red shirt. :shock:

Giggling incessantly....

 

[Madarin Dude]

Upon being hit with a plasma or fusion weapon immediately start rolling a new character. After one of those you will be lucky if they remember you or have a pair of smoking boots for a memorial service.

 

[AndrewW]

Never play chicken with a starship in an air/raft.

Hi,

I think one of the most important tips for players (and GMs) would be the 5 P's - Prior Preparation Prevents Particularly Poor Performance.

Any other tips?


Ian

My best advice, learn to count.

Prior - 1
Preparation - 2
Prevents - 3
Particularly - 4
Poor - 5
Performance - 6

or just change the rules of the game (if numerology matters) and just stick to "Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance"

Perhaps it was just a test to find out whether you can count ? :lol:

If someone is pointing a gun at you, don't think you can just leap out of harm's way or charge them without something bad happening to you.

If you're not doing one thing, you're doing something else (motto for Life).

Oops - drop one of the words - which word? I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader

besides it should be:

Prior Preperation and Planning Prevents Pretty Poor Performance

Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy.

Don't try to eat the yellow ones. They'll kill you.

Don't try to eat the red ones. Those are the yellow ones' eggs, and human meat's their favourite host.

Don't try to eat the blue ones. They just taste horrible.

And don't try to eat the little metal ones. Those are ball bearings.

Oh: and remember the warning about FGMPs. They put out an awful lot of hazardous ionising radiation. Particularly out of that big round hole opposite the bit that you hold. Don't get the two ends confused, because that's a mistake you'll only ever make once.

And if your teammates are standing right behind you when you make that mistake, they will never get the chance to make that mistake for themselves either.

 

[Travellingdave]

Never stand up and wave at an unindentified ATV.

Nukes rarely solve problems; they just get the Imperial Navy involved.

Never fight Imperial Marines. In the unlikely event that you win, many more will be coming your way ... and soon.

Yes, Droyne are kinda cute. Don't let that fool you.

You'll rarely outgun your opponent but you can be smarter than he is.

The first sensor sweep is always on Passive.

If you have the choice, run.
