Quote from: KrakaJak;260493Spycraft 2.0 - Control

More completely, Game Control or GC. Control by itself is usually the guy the agents work for.

Though personally, I loathe calling the GM anything but a GM in anything but D&D.

Thanks for the correction.

I also don't use anything but GM or Game Master. Unless I'm in the occasional Storyteller/D&D only crowd.

Lacuna Part 1 also uses the term Control for the GM.  And unlike most games, characters can talk directly to the GM via Control.

My players call me (the GM), Ringo :(

I remember reading a letter in White Wolf magazine about GMs, where someone wrote she had a GM who used to say - "The guard fires a warning shot through your heart". There are still moments when I want to be that GM.

Regards,
David R

I actually think all the personalized names are really cool, and help contribute to  each game's overall feeling. I'm just lazy.

I've been known to say "The GM in this game is called a Dungeon Master." or something like it :)

StarSIEGE: Event Horizon uses SIEGE Engineer (it's kind of my secret embarrassment, since I prefer GM, as well).
