GM-adjudicated

GM-adjudicated refers to moments or mechanics in larp which require the assistance of game master to navigate and resolve. The GM may make card draws, paper-scissors-rock, or some other mechanic out-of-game to add an element of chance, and then narrate the results and how they affect the player characters and the environment in-game.

The assistance of a GM may be intentionally designed as part of the larp experience, or called for by players. This can serve purposes of adding more flavour to the game via GM interaction, or create a sense of fairness between players in conflict, by reducing the risks of metagaming.
