Subject: 31 types of Game Masters
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 1994 11:35:12 +0100
I just read the post about "the 31 Types of Game Masters (log1194C,
recommended reading :-) ) and spontaneously came up with four new
types (all from experience):

32.
Vengefull: "You blow my Rolls Royce to pieces. Okay, let's see what
happens to your PC's next week when I'm the GM"

33.
Rule Adaptor: "You get hit by an Ares Predator" " Okay that's 9M
isn't it?" "No, no, I changed that rule. It's now 18M to
make the rules more realistic and to account for different
ballistics and blah, blah, blah."

34.
Easily Distracted: "You walk into the bar and see a lot of ..... Hey,
did I tell you about the film I saw last week?" (rants
endlessly about everything but the game)

35.
Badly Prepared: "You go to the street doc? Okay, wait a sec .... euh
it's on page 31 ..... no, page 12 ..... yep got it. You
ask him to help you? Wait a sec (reads whole page) .....
he will help you for ..... euuuhhh 1000 nuyen" etc. etc.


Greetings,
