What is an assistant game master?

Assistant Game Masters are individuals who support the main Game Master (GM) in running tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) or live-action role-playing events (LARPs). Their responsibilities often include managing non-player characters (NPCs), assisting with rules adjudication, preparing materials, and helping with logistics during game sessions. Assistant GMs help ensure the game runs smoothly and provide a better experience for all players by sharing the workload with the main GM.
