    This document provides guidance for running roleplaying games as a game master (GM). It advises the GM to pursue their agenda of following principles like addressing characters rather than players, exploiting the established setting, portraying characters with integrity, and following rules. When it's their turn to speak, the GM should establish the fiction, make a GM move like asking questions and building on answers, and provide examples of GM moves in play, like asking players what their characters do. It also suggests things for the GM to prep and things to avoid doing.
