GM Titles & Responsibilites

GM Titles are given to show the area of responsibility a certain GM has chosen to take. These responsibilities are not intended to be overwhelming or burn out a GM Please feel free to step down or let me know if a section needs to be split further If you receive one of these titles you will be recorded here and take on the responsibilities of that position If you are not sure how to do a certain part of your job please let me know You will be given a journal with your title so you can POST in chat AS your GM title. Master positions will be given the GM upgrade as well and access to edit everything in the game. Both Masters and Apprentices will be given GM status in Game. Apprentices Report to and Assist The Master and they will be awarded by the master. Masters are awarded by the Overlord.  GMs should participate in weekly GM meetings or ongoing meetings via skype.  Add Clemdad  Detailed Responsibilities are outlined in Cycle Updates Below In A Post Overlord - ClemCon Develop the game Assist with all Master titles work Assume all unfilled Master roles Master of Development (MOD) - Ian V Development of Game Logistics Work Directly with Overlord with development weekly Work with other Master positions to assist in the completion of the job Create Material (Writing For the Game) Development  & GM Meetings Apprentice of Development (AOD)  - Tord Master of Beasts   (MOB) - Amy Add new beasts to the bestiary that are needed for upcoming missions & Events Organize the bestiary and put beasts where they belong Award BB for beasts completed by players (including yourself) Edit and update beasts that need to be fixed like those that need pictures or attacks are broken etc. Apprentice of Beasts (AOB) -         Master of Recruits   (MOR) - Kirby Help recruit for the game by posting in our  recruitment page at least once a week Help new recruits with questions they have Move Player Journals where they belong.

GM Etiquette Please make sure you follow the following  Limit profanity.  It is not necessary, may offend others and shows that you lack restraint.   Absolutely no profanity in posts and there should be little reason to use it in the VTT GM's should be held to a higher level of respect for all players. Do not antagonize other players.   If you have a disagreement with another player please construct your disagreement in a way that shows your maturity not immaturity. Remember that many players are new and may not have the experience that you have. Your job is to guide them, even when they make you angry or act like an idiot.   You are under no circumstances to abuse other players by insulting them or making them feel unwelcome.   Please direct players to what they did wrong by giving examples of how to do things instead of fussing at them. Let me know if you are going to be away for an extended period of time with a PM Only award BB by the action that triggers the reward. There should be things that you have to do that would trigger the BB so others would not reward the same BB twice If you have a problem with another GM please let me know instead of trying to yell at them. Maintain a positive attitude.   Do not whine about bad rolls or complain about missions or people earning BB or RP or anything negative If you have a problem you are always welcome to complain to me but keep it out of general chat. As a GM you are the face of the game and other players will respond to your attitude.   From this point forward, any GM that blatantly breaks these rules will receive a warning through PM and continued breaking of rules will result in demotion and loss of GM privileges.
