What is a Narrator?
• A: The Narrator runs the game, sets the scene, develops and plays the other characters aside from the ones the players create and play. Whether it is a major antagonist or a bit-player in a scene, the Narrator is responsible for providing the details of the world the players’ characters interact in, as well as the motivations and personality for the other characters the players’ characters will meet and interact with. He is director, actor, and partial script writer. Many games refer to this person as the gamemaster. However, Immortal is meant to feel more like an epic movie than a paper-and-pen based game. We avoid the use of that term.
