Paul Czege's "My Life with Master: a roleplaying game" is a small press 64 page stapled book with cardstock cover.

The protagonists are minions of an evil and manipulative master whose dark schemes require the complicity of the protagonists, and the play focuses on the efforts of the minions to seek out the support of the community to find the strength to overthrow their master. Players and GM collaborate on the Master and create the community while individual PCs are defined by two attributes ("Self-loathing" and "weariness"), how they are more and less than human, and their connections to the community.

Play is narrative and processual, leading to the inevitable endgame where the player characters turn upon their master and their own individual epilogues (or epitaphs) are determined by the choices they made through play.

Won the 2003 Indie Roleplaying Game of the Year award. There are 2 editions of My Life with Master. Click on an individual title, below, for more information on that edition.
