You Should GM: A Good Article of Game Mastering and Setting the Tone

Check out On DMing over at Monsters and Manuals.  Make sure also to read the companion articles he mentions in the text: My Campaign World Is Tear-And-Share Size, What About Yours? over at D&D With Porn Stars, and On Ressurecting the Quantum Ogre and Having Him Over for Tea over at Hack & Slash.

Good analyses on what one might want out of a game.  Also, I should probably accumulate all my posts I'd recommend to new GMs, as I think this is appropriate.  Though that threatens to be as arbitrary as all my other tags.

Ah well, as one judge said to the other, "Be just, and if you can't be just, be arbitrary."
