-The game master (also known as the storyteller) is the role-player tasked with the responsibility of making a plot work. The function of a game master is to provide the [[:role-players]] in his plot with an entertaining, vivid, consistent, and sometimes unpredictable shared imaginary environment by describing that environment and all the [[characters]] it contains. A GM is also responsible for performing administrative duties related to running a plot.+The game master (also known as the storyteller) is the role-player tasked with the responsibility of making a plot work.

 Commonly, there will be at least one Game Master, or 'GM' present in a JP. Their role is multi-purposed. Commonly they will have a commanding, or lead character in the plot. It's not unusual to have an admin GM over a plot GM, as well. Any GM has earned the right to control certain NPCs directly involved with their plot. An example of this is un-important and lowly functionaries of a starship crew, or even an AI. Not any less important, they are also in charge of deciding the outcome of the actions performed by other characters. Game masters also describe the setting your characters are in and usually make the first post. Opening posts generally signal the time and place of a scene. Commonly, there will be at least one Game Master, or 'GM' present in a JP. Their role is multi-purposed.
