MADDY THINKS  'Absolutely anyone can be a game master... its a weird mixture of both planning and being in the moment and improvising - so, being able to have a plan, and meticulously kind of get all these details down and make a world feel real, but then be able to throw it away in an instant when a player does something extra interesting, that you want to follow that instead...'
