Uhh, what is a GM?
So glad you asked! GMs or Game Masters are typically the person in charge of (or at least facilitating) a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) for a group. Often they are the ones most familiar with the game system, have prepared some sort of adventure or obstacle for the player characters to encounter during their play session, will act as characters and creatures the players may interact with, and arbitrate rules and play at the table. Depending on your system and players, sometimes a GM has to be a researcher, teacher, writer, designer, craftsperson/artist, actor, referee, therapist, and host. It can be a lot to try to keep up with! Despite all that, if you’ve played enough roleplaying game sessions that you feel like you have set expectations for what a session will be like, then you’re probably ready to start GMing! Come chat with us, we’d love to cheer you on as you start this part of your TTRPG life.
I can’t come, but this sounds cool. How can I still get some of this encouragement and feedback?
We have an incredible Discord community that is always active. They love talking about the TTRPGs they are playing or are soon to play, organizing new games, and helping troubleshoot issues.
