Re: Leaders? GMs?

I am the GM of Tremere. I have enjoyed the responsibility but at times there should be allowed breaks. Does it mean I am not a good GM? Depends who you ask. I also think that a GM's role is to develop the characters within her guild. Allowing them opportunities to develop and expand thier characters through interactions and dialogue. You can't do that if you keep your finger on them at all times or plan on events that limits real developement.

I applaud many people in the community for keeping one character or in a single guild. However, sometimes being evil 24/7 can wear down any eager wytch. All I can do is support my members, give them clear rules to follow, and be consitant with my responsibilities. I think that a GM should motivate characters to do thier own thing and develop leadership - it makes a stronger cast of characters that benefit the guild in the long run.

I think too many events tend to run over the toes of other guilds that have plans for the same evening. Even though sometimes it happens perhaps it would give good opportunity for co-events.

I do not think that popularity plays a part in being a leader even though it helps. A leader is a thinker, tinker, healer, and juggler all in one. No one wants to roleplay alone and every member of the community does have a role to play and is beneficial to the community...even Heddie (snuggles).


If any guild would like to create a scenario, I would be willing to help out.
