In this post I touched on the roles of the gamemaster (also known as the DM) in a roleplaying game (RPG). But that really only scratched the surface. Today let’s dig a little deeper, and see what we unearth.
This is a big subject, and it’s going to take a few posts. You can find them all by clicking on the “GM roles” tag at the bottom of the page.
Grandma Link’s house didn’t have central heat. She had two oil stoves, and two wood stoves. Ed Geers delivered the oil, so that was no problem. But someone had to cut the firewood. And that someone was us.

One of my readers pointed out to me that not everyone has played a role-playing game (or RPG, for short). So today we’re going to explore the basics of what RPG’s are and how they are played.
I mean sure, there are some mornings I feel like I might be. But age isn’t what I’m talking about.
