The Game Master
Texto
Rokugan is a world of choice and consequence. The players make decisions on behalf of their characters, choosing between desire and duty, honor and loyalty, and power and justice. Yet, the world will not react by itself. One player, called the game master (GM), brings the world to life for the rest of players by describing the environments of Rokugan and representing the people who live there.
The GM is the one who devises the scenarios in which the samurai characters’ adherence to the Code of Bushidō is tested, and the players and GMs co-author the tales of those characters’ victory or defeat, pride or shame, glory or disgrace, survival or death. Beyond this creative role as storyteller, the GM is responsible for running the game and adjudicating the rules of the system. Finally, the GM is the group leader and helps to organize the group and mediate conflicts between the players.
