I'd rather not give them the recognition, and Pathfinder ditched alignment anyway.
It is actually a good strategy to dilute the term Dungeon Master into a general phrase, because that means Hasbro can't enforce their copyright. For instance, Aspirin is a brand name, but it's such a generic term that anyone in the US can call their product Aspirin without risk.
We'll have to agree to disagree! I prefer using the game's defined term, or Game Master for general usage.
Edited to add, you TTRPG players sure are a contentious people.
Well, when the players enter a dungeon, it becomes the Dungeon Master.
Everywhere else, it can be a Game Master. Inside the game of course. If they go outside the game then... well, then that's just another guy in the
outside.Funnily, my games feature few actual dungeons.
Don't you mean "us TTRPG people"? You're also a part of this
It's a Simpsons reference.
