So What Exatly is a Game Master?
So what exactly is a game master? If you don't know a lot about role playing games this question may be on your mind. Sometimes gamers refer to game masters as Dungeon Masters or Castles Keepers. It really doesn't matter what they're called, because this important person basically does the same thing in any rpg game or tournament. In essence, the game master runs the game and acts as the judge and story teller. The game master must have a firm grasp of the game's rules and must make certain that disputes are settled quickly and amicably between gamers. For example, two players may be arguing over dice rolls or the placement of game miniatures on the table's mondomat. The game master must be able to settle differences as soon as possible to keep peoples' feelings in check and to keep the game progressing. It's a tough job being the game master, but someone has to do it.
