-- [[http://tisiphonethroughthelookingglass.tumblr.com/ A conversation between Tisiphone and a talking bat]] explaining the basic plot.

'''The Game Master's Tournament''' is a group of blogs that take place within TheFearMythos. They all feature dfferent characters, but all begin the same way: the character wakes up on "the Game Board," a place with a [[EldritchLocation checkerboard ground]] and [[AlienSky orange skies]], and they are instructed that they are a part of the "Game Master's Tournament" and there will only be one winner. To win, [[DeadlyGame everyone else has to die]].

Here are the characters:
* [[http://fireduelist.blogspot.com/ Gordon Tayler]], a young YuGiOh fan who finds himself over his head with an ''actual'' magical deck.
* [[http://enhanchedproxy.blogspot.com/ David Kallaway]], an "Enhanced" servant of [[TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man]] who finds he dislikes killing more and more.
* [[http://plaguedbysecrets.blogspot.ca/ Blair H.]], an androgynous runner from the Black Dog.
* [[http://tisiphonethroughthelookingglass.tumblr.com/ Tisiphone]], a murderous young woman who is turning into a Lilim for the Mother of Snakes.
* [[http://toysofagamemaster.wordpress.com/ Debbie Doehrs, Frog Sorenson, and Clara Loomis]] - Debbie and Frog were friends before the tournament, but Clara comes from a dystopian future ruled by the "New Gods," the Fears.
* [[http://wonderlandswargames.blogspot.ca/ Marcus Finn]], a runner from the Choir.
* [[http://dancingondaggers.wordpress.com/ Emily Kim]], a young woman with a penchant for [[KnifeNut knives]].
* [[http://dataportseven.blogspot.ca/ Drake Miri]], a young man, and "Genome," the living AI Thoughtborn in his computer that is trying to get him killed.
* [[http://gametime00.blog.com/ Malachi Dewitt]], a Private Investigator who sometimes works for the Fears.
* [[http://axiominwonderland.blogspot.com/ Axiom]] and [[http://everythingperhaps.blogspot.com/ Rillek]].
* [[[http://trailsofaheavysleeper.tumblr.com/ Georgia]], a runner from the Grotesque.
* And [[http://thedayofyourarrival.blogspot.com/ Ambrose Bierce]], [[AmbroseBierce himself]].
