Referee

2005-05-13T23:18:25Z

Magnus Widqvist:

The referee of a [[role-playing game]] is a [[player]] with a special job. Rather than playing a single [[character]], he plays all the [[non-player character]]s in the game as well as presenting the current scenario or [[adventure]] to the [[player]]s.

==Alternate Titles==
Games frequently have their own title for the referee. Below is a list of examples and the games from which they derive.

* '''[[Administrator]]''' -- ''[[Top Secret]]''
* '''[[Animator]]''' -- ''[[Toon]]''
* '''[[Director]]''' -- ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', ''[[Angel]]'', ''[[Dungeoneer]]''
* '''[[Dungeon Master]]''' -- ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''
* '''[[Eminence Grice]]''' -- ''[[Agone]]''
* '''[[Game Master]]''' -- ''[[Shadowrun]]'', ''[[Jovian Chronicles]]'', ''[[7th Sea]]'', many others
* '''[[Holmeister]]''' -- ''[[HOL]]''
* '''[[Hollyhock God]]''' -- ''[[Nobilis]]''
* '''[[Host]]''' -- ''[[Castle Falkenstein]]'', ''[[IronClaw, JadeClaw]]''
* '''[[Keeper of Arcane Lore]]''' (or simply '''Keeper''') -- ''[[Call of Cthulhu]]''
* '''[[Kennel Master]]''' -- ''[[Woof Meow]]''
* '''[[Man, The]]''' -- ''[[Starchildren]]''
* '''[[Marshal]]''' -- ''[[Deadlands]]''
* '''[[Mission Director]]''' -- ''[[RECON]]'' and ''[[RECON Modern Combat]]''
* '''[[Moderator]]''' -- ''[[Blue Planet]]''
* '''[[Narrator]]''' -- ''[[Star Trek]]''
* '''[[Referee]]''' -- ''[[Traveller]]''
* '''[[SchoolMaster]]''' -- ''[[Alma Mater]]''
* '''[[Storyguide]]''' -- ''[[Ars Magica]]''
* '''[[Storyteller]]''' -- [[White Wolf]]'s various games
* '''[[Wulin Sage]]''' -- ''[[Weapons of the Gods]]''
