In Tarnished Tale, the Facilitator is the player who acts as the primary storyteller. They have access to the behind-the-scenes details of the current adventure and fill the role of all Non-Player Characters needed, including the environment itself. They may also be the adventure or setting developer.
The term Facilitator is preferred over similar terms used in other game engines (such as gamemaster, keeper, etc) for two primary reasons:
- The term serves the game's design goal in terms of its accessibility by avoiding loaded or gendered root words, and;
- The term satisfies the game's Rule Zero in underlying that the role of the Facilitator is to facilitate play, rather than to act as an antagonist to the players or to lord over them as some form of an authority.
