We have recently moved to calling the person running the game the 'FM' or
Faustus Master.. of course, that increases the responsibilities of that
person tremendously.. not only do they have to create, manage and run the
game, but they have to misdirect all queries or questions through a
commercial web page, satisfy the players wives and girlfriends as well as
maintain a sense of humor. We have been through three this week already, and
they are sleeping relatively well after their meds now.
