Heh heh. Unless you're playing in a collaborative game, the gm ALWAYS wins.
You could have 4 PhD's in molecular biology and a freshman sociology major
as gm and guess who wins?

Let me be the first to point out that you're not supposed to think of the
relationship between gamemaster and players in terms of winning/losing.
Everything the gm does is for your benefit. 'Win/lose' is a cognitive frame
possessed only by munchkins and those unfortunate individuals who once
played war games. The only known cure is to become a gamemaster. Terry
