TFT Synonym for "Game Master"
 
I am sure GameMaster will stick as trying to coin a new phrase might be too much of an uphill climb, but I thought it would be fun anyway to think of a fresh term for TFT "Game Masters"

Labyrinth Lord
Labyrinth Wizard
Maze Maven
Maze Magus
Maze Monarch
Maze Maestro
Imperial Grand Poo Bah of Wednesday Night
Director of Impending Doom

When acting in the course of their duties, all GMs are always ritually addressed as "Steve".

I have a newfound appreciation for the term "Keeper" having just recently learned from The Good Friends of Jackson Elias podcast that it is an alternate term for a museum curator.

Heh! The Lord High Everything Else is a very apt summary of the duties of a GM.

If anyone is familiar with the VCR board-game Nightmare, "The Gatekeeper" brings a cool amount of chills. :)

Melkor - or does it make to much of a statement?

Just never try to call them "Fantasy Master" like MetaGaming did ages ago.

Lots of good ones, but this is my new favorite. I am proudly liberating this for my own selfish use. GG.

Yeah, I can hear my players now:

"Moron?"

"No! Mnoren."

"Huh. Still sounds like moron to me. Sure you don't want to go with Grand Imbecile?"

After I posted that, I remembered what was used in original ed...

"Fantasy Master" - as in the title of the "Fantasy Master's Codex 1983."
