: The GM is possibly the finest example of humanity one could ever hope to meet. Selfless, noble, erudite, wise, and benevolent beyond the normal bounds of mortals, a GM is truly one of the greatest people you will ever meet, and one of the greatest friends anyone could ever hope for. All GM's should be feted, lauded, and lavished with gifts, out of appreciation for their nigh-superhuman good deeds and bonhomie. | |||
: Ahem. | |||
: Okay, in all seriousness, the GM is the player who does not play. The GM is the person who 'runs' the game, serves as the principal storyteller, designs and runs all the combats, skill challenges, and hostile environments, designs and describes the game world, and generally makes the game go. You can play Epic Path without anybody...except the GM. So, seriously, be nice to your GM. They're just human, and if they accidentally wipe out the party, try to give them a little break as they work to figure things out. | |||
: After all, the point of playing with your friends is to have fun. That means everybody! So go play, and have fun! | |||
