There is a stigma against a GM playing as a Character in their own game. Especially if they want to play -while- GMing.Common things said are they can't stay objective, that they will use knowledge that no one but the GM knows, that it will slow the GM down having to both GM and play, and the list goes on for nigh forever.I'm a GM that calls BS. Most of the time.I am, and know, quite a few GMs

We had our second mission on April 4th and again I am amazed at my players. This time around it was the daytime players (I have three groups in this game it seems. Those that can play during the day, normally around Noon EST, those that can play at night, normally starting around 20-21:00 EST, and those that can swing both) and I was really impressed with their reasoning skills. Between the group

We had our first official mission on Thursday the 11th.I have to say, I'm impressed by me play group thus far... They think pretty well on their toes, don't spend an hour debatin a single course of action (something that plagues some online RPGs (obviously the 'pen and paper' types, not RPG as the game genre a-la WoW, Diablo I/II/III, and many others.)While we had to have it in two separate days

Sometimes a game just doesn't go as planned.Jono's GM Rules #3.Last week on the 4th, I was having the first 'official' session/mission of Demon-World. And only one player shows up. *insert sigh #5, the 'This can't be a good sign' sigh*I'm able to get two other players to hop in who happen to be online at the time and we get started (only one of who had signed up, but hey we're still able to do a

This is something that I used to get caught up in many times. Balancing the real world with play world, and within that play world, balancing your time and player time, balancing each character's 'shining' time with normal time with 'not-so-shiny' time (as in when they are the star of the show, a player in the show, or not that big a part at the moment).Being a GM is very much about

You are all down in Sub-Basement 3, where the large workout arena is located as well as the testing room. It is in this Testing Room that Jeska leads you.Jeska: "Welcome to the Testing Room, this place is able to make just about any kind of environment we can think of. It uses holograms to simulate visual and advanced gravity generators as well as scent creators to simulate anything else within

Just ran Session T-01 a bit ago. Was pretty fun too. Had the team go into a Testing Room which is much like the X-Men's Danger Room or Star Trek: the Next Generation's Holodeck.I'll post up the log for the session in a moment.Jessi spoke to me about creating a character, iirc (which is "If I Remember Correctly" in IRC-speak heh) she said she was thinking about an Angel Cleric/Mediator. Which

Something I have noticed is there are really three types of GMs when it comes to session planning. There are those that write out everything and have it all ready for copy/paste into the session as it goes on (Sometimes even having it as a script, so all they have to do is type in a code and IRC pastes it in for ye.) or there are those that wait till last minute and do most of the session off the

I've known a lot of people that stress over "The First Post", stating that it has to be a perfect mesh of how the blog will turn out and their personality.To be blunt, this is a blog about me and my dealings with Demon-World, an RPG game I am running on IRC (in the irc.esper.net server). The channel we play in is #Demon-World and we have OOC talk in #DWOOC. The game uses the Returners FFRPG
