That's a traditional usage in many RPGs, actually. I remember seeing "he is the player and she is the GM" in example-of-play text from the early 1980s, although I can't recall which titles in particular used that convention. (Maybe - and I repeat maybe - this was first used by Flying Buffalo, perhaps?)

I first saw it in a FUDGE-related product, but I certainly won't claim they invented it.

Two things if you're a player, since the GM handles reaction rolls, but okay, add this line...

Okay, two exceptions if you're the GM. If you're seeing how an NPC reacts to someone, higher is better here, too.
