19. No matter the situation or the system, always force players to roll for SAN. Never explain why.

20. Make a Homestuck game. People like Homestuck.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

21. Best time to start a forum game? Any time you're far too busy to be running a forum game.

23. Dive into your new game. Don't worry about settings or plots. They're extraneous features for most games, amirite?

24.  Oh, this one player is OP... that's fine.  I'll think of a way to nerf him eventually.   Maybe

26. When in doubt nerf. Coming up with new challenges appropriate to the character's ability is just too much effort.

Edit: i know this number should be a 27, and therefore the next should be 28, my apologies for the oversight.

This guy.
That made my fucking day.
No.  That almost made this whole damn year for me.  Only surpassed by an uncommon and probably unrepeatable series of events last summer.
So yeah.  That's some good shit.

I think people who call Old Man Henderson's GM bad don't quite realize that all that crazy stuff he does - the GM allows all that.

Anyway;

29. Take your time updating your game. The players won't mind gaps of months between turns at all.

It wouldn't be 4chan without calling it faggotry, eh?

30. NPC's need not have characterization or genre savvyness, for they are only manifestations of thy immeasurable will.
