| - | === 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 as together we make a world and a game that's as fun and enjoyable as possible for our players. | + | |
| - | * **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}} |
