A question of Gamemastering...

I make a video response to questions posed by The Outsiders. Here are the questions:

How did you get into role-playing?
How long have you been actually running games?
What are your favorite systems to DM?
How would you describe your Dming Style?
What is your best quality as a DM?
What makes a great GM?
Why do you DM?
What would your players say about you?
What things irritate you as a DM about yourself or about the hobby?
What makes a great player in your view?
What advice would you give to any DM to help them?

A question for *my* viewers: How many systems have you GM'd?

My answer: D&D (1E, 2E & 3E), Metamorphosis Alpha (original), Gamma World (1E, 2E, 3E & 4E), Cyberpunk 2020, Cyberspace (Rolemaster), Rifts, Mutants & Masterminds, Traveller (original).

Great answers. Sounds like you are a perfect, what ever that word can mean, GM.

I have GM'ed the newest Gamma World, do not know what edition it is, AD&D, and Gurps 3rd edition.

@TheVikingHill Thank you. But I am far from perfect. I think there are a number of better GMs here on YT. Such as the Gentleman and Ander.

Did you miss out TMNT on purpose or was you a player. Please can I add your vids to my rolelaying website? Gamesmasters with a dot and a org. Your awesome to listen to. Love the red mist description very cool, must have been a epic session. I GM:

rolemaster

Warhammer 1&2

Have GM'd many games, many, list goes some!

Like to go back to AD&D 3.5 though, but got player reluctance?

@thenerk Feel free to link my videos through your site.

I've become quite attached to Pathfinder as of late.

I loved After the Bomb, particularly the second edition. Great mutant animal creation rules. I'm not thrilled with the Palladium system itself however.

Thank you very much for posting the questions in your descriptions :-)

[tetsubo57]

@TheNerubin Well, I try to be helpful.

Gotta love a GM that says his best quality is letting players explore and not railroading, then turns around gives the classic "I am God" line, and says good players are those that cooperate. lmao. I have played under a couple GMs like this in my day. You're free to do as you will, as long as your will his his will. lol
