  Gamemaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Gamemaster or Game Master (often abbreviated as GM) is a player in a multiplayer game who acts as organizer, arbitrator, and officiant in rules situations.
The gamemaster also keeps track of non-player characters (NPCs) and random encounters, as well as of the general state of the game world.
The game session (or "adventure") can be metaphorically described as a play, in which the players are the lead actors, and the GM provides the stage, the scenery, the basic plot on which the improvisational script is built, as well as all the bit parts and supporting characters.

 Action Gamemaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Action Gamemaster was a vaporware product that would have been produced by Active Enterprises, a small manufacturer of unlicensed videogames.
The Action Gamemaster, as planned, was to have been a portable game system in the sense of Nintendo's Game Boy and the Atari Lynx, but with much greater aspirations.
Existing concept art for the Action Gamemaster reveals a system shaped roughly like a flight yoke, with a directional pad on the left side, an action-button diamond on the right, unidentified function keys on the large central area, and the LCD screen on a bevel facing the player.

The Action Gamemaster was a vaporware product that is perhaps the single greatest example of the hubris evinced by Active Enterprises, a small manufacturer of unlicensed Nintendo Entertainment System games.
Despite the fact that Action 52 stands alone as one of the buggiest, most unplayable games ever made for commercial release, Active was undaunted, and announced at the 1994 CES its intentions to manufacture and produce the Action Gamemaster.

 Gamemaster Guide   (Site not responding. Last check: )
While other Gamemasters are assigned to specific branches of the club, the Campaign Gamemaster dwells in Star Wars Central and it not affiliated with any branch, sub-branch, or player group.
The Campaign Gamemaster can suspend the powers of other Gamemasters, except the Senior Gamemasters, if he or she feels that another Gamemaster is hindering the progress of their campaign.
The only exception to this rule would be if the other two Senior Gamemasters, the SWC President, and the SWC Chairman asked the Senior GM in question for his or her resignation.

 Gamemaster Series   (Site not responding. Last check: )
But what made Milton Bradley's Gamemaster Series so impressive was the quality of the components, the scale of which had not been seen in games before.
The Gamester has a picture on his "Gamemaster Series" page of his website of an earlier (pre-Milton Bradley) 1982 edition; I'm not sure if this was published by Citadel or perhaps Heritage.
The Gamemaster Series games filled a void in the game community, enduring both the scoffs of the old-time SPI and Avalon Hill wargamers, and the strange looks of the average Joes and Janes who eye the big, beautiful boxes with derision and sadly think games are only for kids.

 RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
Chapter 3 is Gamemasters in Action, and describes how to use the game mechanics from a GM point of view, and includes such things on guidelines on using the dice mechanic, how to handle time and combat, examples of certain common hazards (heat, cold, vacuum, etc.) and so on.
I imagine that it will see less use in that role than it will be used as the source of some unusual races in a space fantasy type campaign or a campaign that has species resembling the stereotypical fantasy races.
Overall, I don't consider the Alternity Gamemaster Guide to be near the indispensable reference that the DandD 3e DMG is for DandD, but it should help inexperienced GMs into the saddle and will give more experienced referees the low down of how to handle a lot of situations using the Alternity system.
