Gamemaster

A gamemaster (GM; also known as game master, game manager, game moderator or referee) is a person who acts as an organizer, officiant for questions regarding rules, arbitrator, and moderator for a multiplayer role-playing game. They are most common in co-operative games in which players work together and are less common in competitive games in which players oppose each other. The act performed by a gamemaster is sometimes referred to as "Gamemastering" or simply "GM'ing".

The role of a gamemaster in a traditional role-playing game is to weave the other participants' player-character stories together, control the non-player aspects of the game, create environments in which the players can interact, and solve any player disputes. The basic role of the gamemaster is the same in almost all traditional role-playing games, although differing rule sets make the specific duties of the gamemaster unique to that system.

The role of a gamemaster in an online game is to enforce the game's rules and provide general customer service. Also, unlike gamemasters in traditional role-playing games, gamemasters for online games in some cases are paid employees.

Gamemaster (board game series)

The Gamemaster Series of board games consists of five war simulation games created by the game company Milton Bradley, beginning in 1984 with the introduction of the popular Axis & Allies board game. Of note is that none of the five games were developed "in-house"; all five games were published under smaller game publishers in the early 1980s in limited runs before their rights were acquired by Milton Bradley. Nevertheless, the games as released by Milton Bradley are considered to be the "first edition" of the games in this series.

The original Milton Bradley Gamemaster Series included:

  • Axis & Allies (1984)
  • Conquest of the Empire (1984)
  • Broadsides and Boarding Parties (1984)
  • Fortress America (1986)
  • Shogun (1986)
  • The first three games were designed by Larry Harris, while the last two were designed by Mike Gray, though neither were credited for their creations until their subsequent re-releases. Of these five, Axis & Allies was the most successful, spawning several revised versions, spinoffs, and a related miniature game series, though Conquest of the Empire and Shogun also saw some success.

    Gamemaster

    by: Paul Oakenfold

    Embracing the goddess energy within yourselves..
    will bring all of you to a new understanding and value of life.
    A vision that inspires you to live and love on planet earth.
    Like a priceless jewel..
    buried in dark layers of soil and stone.
    Earth radiates her brilliant beauty..
    into the caverns of space and time.
    Perhaps your are aware of those who watch over your home.
    And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality.
    You are becoming aware of yourself as a game master.
    Imagine earth restored to her regal beauty.
    Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue sky.
    Clouds billow to form majestic peaks.
    The songs of birds fill the air..
    creating symphony upon symphony..
    The goddess is calling for..
    and honoring..
    of what she allows to be created..
    from the core-mystery of the blood.
