What "that guy" is called (part II)

[James V. West]

You know what? I'm about 10 years too late for this thread, but I use "Guide" for The Questing Beast.

And if I ever write that over-the-top furry game I want to write you can bet your ass it'll be "BeastMaster".

[James Holloway]

Buffy, unsurprisingly enough, uses "Director."

Spaceship Zero uses, I believe, Zero Meister.

[Enoch]

Mechanical Dream uses Absolute Judge
Children of the Sun uses Guide

-Joshua

[Chris Passeno]

Game Master - Bureau 13.
Game Master - Mercenaries, Spies, and Private Eyes.
Game Master - Hahlmabrea.
Referee - Twilight 2000.
Guide - Don't Look Back.
Mission Director - Revised Recon.

[J. Backman]

I used 'The Curator' for Theatrum.

[Shreyas Sampat]

In my Refreshing Rain, the player with the most GM0responsibility is called the Astrologer.
Skyrealms of Jorune uses Sholari.

[Jason Lee]

So, is there a concensus on which game "Game Master" first appeared in?

I see it in Gamma World (1978).  My copy is not from 1978, so I cannot verify.

Hi there,

I split the above posts from What "that guy" is called" from last September. We can carry on here.

(James, you know better than that, spunky ...)

Whoa whoa whoa -- if I bumped that thread, I must have been dreaming, cause it was right smack dab in the top of my list.

I wonder what happened there? Maybe it had something to do with not being logged in? I dunno.

James,

James V. West is the spunky one here, not you.

Yeah, I got that.  About half an hour after posting.

I guess I was just having a morning.

Ignore me.

HMFIC would be such a good one for someone to use...

I'll bite: HMFIC?

In HarnMaster, is it a HarnMasterMaster? If they had an RPGA "Living" campaign, there would have to be a Master HarnMasterMaster.

Too much caffeine.

I'm thinking of having a dual-GM system for Exquisite, where the GMs are titled Shahryar and The Maiden; Shahryar is a constant, while The Maiden is a title that can be reassigned during play.
