Sure most people use Dungeon Master for D&D games or Game Master for others but I like the term Judge just like the guys at the eponymous Judges Guild use.
It seems to me that Judge implies a more neutral less adversarial relationship than "Master" and gives people especially non gamers a good idea what exactly I do.
I judge the actions taken in game and the worlds response to them.
Nice and simple.

ReplyDeleteAnd Greg, and yeah I hadn't thought about that Judge is a bit intimidating . Thats not all bad though I gotta keep those players in line somehow ;)
