There’s a bit on the podcast My Brother My Brother and Me where they opine that if you have a group of friends or family all together, and you ask them all, on the count of three, to point at the person they thing should be the Captain if they were suddenly on board a boat, that nine times out of ten, everyone would agree on who the captain is.

I think the same is true with groups that play games. If you put a bunch of people who know what the term means and say “OK, 1, 2, 3, who’s the dungeon master!” they would almost all point to the same person. Yeah, the gamemaster is just another player; yeah, what we’re doing is collaborative, but… people know. They knowwwwww.

Also: I’d love to play a full campaign of 3:16 someday. Heck, I’d like to play it long enough for the majority of the players to grok what it’s actually communicating at them.
