Dungeons & Dragons - So You Want To Be Dungeon Master?
by Eugene Clark
RPG's or Role Playing Games continue to be popular in today's crowded game market. One of those games is Dungeons & Dragons or commonly known as D&D. One of the key components to a session of D&D is Dungeon Master.
If you remember the 1981 blockbuster of E.T. you will remember that one of the characters in an opening sequence about ten minutes in; was in fact a dungeon master, to give you a hint it wasn't E.T.
What does it mean to be a dungeon master is the game of D&D? You are like the director of a motion picture. You will be taking your group of players on an adventure, through the twists and turns that you provide. You will be in control of narrating the story. You will also be giving the players choices to battle monsters and villains with the outcome of being victorious!
So what is all involved in becoming a master?
1. You will need to prepare, before game night you will want to have your adventure ready and be prepared for any number of encounters that may come your way.
2. You need a great imagination to create a world for the players to play in. How you interpret this can be crucial for a great game. One of the things you will need is to be fast on your feet. Will your world be huge to start or small?
3. Monsters and Villains. You get to control the bad guys, and this is part of the game that most dungeon masters enjoy. You don't want to just be a killing machine, after all the game is about creating fantasy and to form an element of suspense that is also believable.
4. As a Dungeon Master you will have to also wear a referee shirt. You will be responsible for making decisions in the game should an issue come up. Good Dungeon Masters know that to keep everyone happy they also should know about the player's goals with his or her specific character, including weaknesses and skills.
This is just a short list of the things you will have to do as dungeon master. There are many more in the combat zone, which will be addressed in another article.
