(choose one or more)Sci-fi, fantasy, modern, historical, horror, humor/satire, realistic shooting, superhero, surreal, detective, post-apocalyptic, multi-genre, other?A-    FantasyQuestion 2What sort of emphasis would you like the game to have? (choose one or more)Troubleshooting, action, tactics, plotting, wackiness, story, character growth, technical stuff, business-simulation, epicness, survival, other?A-    Plotting, story, character growth.Question 3Will you be willing to get to know the game and learn to understand the game-world? Will you read the GM’s e-mails and hand-outs outside the game?A-    I’m usually 99% of the time the GM.Question 4Which of these are you and how much?Gamist -20%Narrativist-40%Simulationist-40%Question 5What guarantees a good game? Short answers please.    A-Player involvement and interesting play.Question 6What is the ideal size of a gaming group?    A-4Question 7Do you prefer a designated GM or a GM hot-seat?    A - DesignatedQuestion 8How challenging the game should be to player characters? Please note that this has nothing to with how challenging the game is to players.A-    I don’t understand the question.Question 9Can bad dice rolls kill characters? Can characters die at all? (already discussed in a separate thread)    A – Yes. It’s the nature of the game.Question 10How much the GM should help players in game? With rule-questions the GM must help of course but if the character is in a tight spot and should make a decision, should the GM offer an option (thus putting words in the players mouth – “ok, I’ll do that!”) or should the player be given the right to make his/her own decisions, whether right or wrong? Should the GM have a GMPC which guides players through difficult spots?    A – It depends on the player level and experience with the game .Question 11What do with a PC when the player can’t come?A-    I postpone the game. My players know my policy.Question 12Do you like traditional gaming (whatever that is?) or do you enjoy groundbreaking, innovative games.    A – Both. Mostly traditional though.Question 13Do you want the GM to prepare the session and to write the story or would you like the characters to create the story themselves? Script vs. freedom, which do you prefer?    A – I try to allow as much freedom as possible while maintaining a deep story connected to players and their backgrounds. I’ve learned to keep a rough timeline of events, and time marches on whether or not the players are there the BBEG doesn’t wait for players. Consequences for derping around and all of that.Question 14How fast-paced the game should be? Can we stop to buy equipment for an hour or should the GM be ruthless and skip over the parts that he doesn’t deem vital to the story? (referring to “guards at the gate”)A-    Story , details and character development are central to a good game in our group (at least my old group). Subtlety such as hair growth and hair cuts, small spell components, food, and things like that make all the difference from playing a game and immersion in a world.Question 15How do you feel about having off-game discussions about in-game-issues?A-    I don’t know what this question is asking.</blockquote>
