As I said in my reply to Celebrim above, a big challenge in being a GM - especially if the game is built fairly self-consciously around scene-framing - is to set up situations that will be fun to play.To some extent there's no substitute for experience, but I think system can help quite a bit as well.If you mean "what does one do in general?" I would say it depends heavily on what system resources are available to the GM.If you're asking me what do I do as a GM who is running 4e, I take advantage of the resources the game gives me - most centrally, choices about what NPCs/monsters do - to try and change the circumstances of the player's PC, so as to change the real-life situation of that player.</blockquote>
