Advice for the Evil Overlord:

If I burst into rebel headquarters and find it deserted except for an odd, blinking device, I will not walk up and investigate; I'll run like hell.

Advice for the Hero:

I will wear different outfits from day to day, so that the Evil Overlord's henchmen will not be able to spot me at a glance.

Advice for the Bad Auxiliary Character (Evil Cult Member):

Fluorescent lighting is very annoying to most netherworldly creatures.

Advice for the Good Auxiliary Character (Good Guy's One True Love):

If I have a copy of the Evil Overlord's plans and my capture is imminent, I will not send the only copy of those plans away with a cute little sidekick. I will make many copies of the plans and send them away with many cute little sidekicks.

Further Evil (Advice on Fortress Construction):

Instead of building a huge flashy Fortress of Evil, consider renting an anonymous warehouse, an empty office block, or a strip mall or industrial park that's fallen on hard times. It'll save money, be harder to spot, and will already have utility hookups.

Murphy's Laws of Combat:

• Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.
• The enemy diversion you're ignoring is the main attack.
• Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.
• As soon as you mention something, if it's good, it goes away. If it's bad, it happens.
