Greetings, programs! With the MCDM community's help, I've prepared a survey of GM styles, so that I can use factor analysis to find the common variables underlying GMs' responses, and come up with a scientific answer to "what kinds of GM styles are there?" The survey has 43 questions and takes a few minutes to complete. The more people answer, the better the data we'll get.
EDIT: We got 101 responses and now we're analysing the data. First results: There are 9 dimensions of GM style! Not sure what they are, but there's 9 of them.
"Does your world have spinoff adventures and oneshots?" I GM an anthology series, each session is a self contained adventure, but there's an overarcing plot, like Stargate or The Clone Wars.
i do the same but our sessions are short so it ends up as 2-3 session long self contained episodes (playing Beam Saber)
