Re: How to Be a GURPS GM: Managing Expectations
Quote:
I'm human though and fallible so there are times despite having a GM screen that something might not be at my fingertips. And I prepare heavily. I won't stop the game to look it up. I just use my best judgment. My players know, and I will tell them after the game, that if I wing something it's for the good of the game and I will learn the rule eventually. And responding to another comment. I agree that players should know their own stuff and have the rule handy. If they do then I will run with it. If over the long run I feel someone is cheating then that is an issue that to me falls outside the game. I'm fine with honest mistakes and it would have to be a pattern of behavior but if they consistently cheat then I really don't want them in my house let alone in my game. I find my players are pretty good overall and if they do err it is an honest mistake and not some grand plot to "win" a game. |
