The Commandments of Gaming is a series of blog posts where 8one6 gets up on a soapbox to proclaim from on high how he feels that games should be run or could be improved.

There is one simple fact that you can’t deny: the Game Master does more work for the game than any of the other players in the group. Any exception to this fact is just that, an exception. The Game Master puts together the setting, runs all of the NPCs and Monsters, has to know the rules better than the rest of the players because they’re going to be the one asked about them, and is in most groups the person coordinating the scheduling for the group.
When the GM asks for feedback they’re doing it to try and improve your gaming experience, so give them actual feedback. “It was alright” doesn’t tell them anything. Be constructive with your comments or criticisms. Any GM who reacts poorly to that kind of input isn’t worth your time, but a good GM will actually appreciate it.
Also, feel free to occasionally bring your GM something to let them know you appreciate their effort. Nothing major, just something like a soda or the occasional dinner thrown their way is always appreciated by a GM.
