- | === What does GMing involve? === | + | ANY QUESTIONS? [[gm@umba.chaosdeathfish.com|Get in touch!]] |
- | Broadly, three categories of work: | + | ===== Details ===== |
- | * **DECIDING** - as a team, we will work to create a world, to create a game system, and to create plots that we want to run. When the game is running, the GM team as a whole will be responsible for deciding how player actions affect the world and what the result of their plans are. Each GM's input into these decisions is invaluable! | + | |
- | * **WRITING** - each GM will be responsible for writing up setting and system for the Wiki for both presenting to players and GMs, as well as writing downtimes (ie turnsheets). //Ultimate Monster Battle Arena// will be taking a different approach to recent games to turnsheets in an effort to improve the quality of downtimes while also decreasing the workload for GMs. | + | |
- | * **ENJOYING** - the most serious thing, GMs should enjoy the game they've made! It's more than likely that you'll get to play NPCs and write in a world you've made and love, and it's an utmost responsibility of all GMs to make sure they're enjoying themselves as well! | + | |
- | There are obviously far more details than I've described here, and I'll be happy to go through them with anyone who's interested and answer any questions (again [[gm@umba.chaosdeathfish.com|email me!]]), but above all if you think you're up for all three of these things then you should already get in touch!! | + | {{page>schedule&nofooter}} |
