How many do you have? (I typically find more than four or five
unwieldy.) They take, in general, the form of a person (typically the
GM (Game Master)) orchestrating the events that unfold, playing the
`universe' if you will, while the others play characters in that
universe. Its a load of fun, especially if you're an evil sadist like
myself ... :)

Plenty of Web-Pages out there on the subject. :)
