GMless RPGs are......stupid? 29.10.2020

Talking about a topic that annoys the crap out of me, GMless RPGs and how they make zero sense to me and I am not sure why all these people are pushing games with no GMs. There needs to be someone who is the referee or the judge of a game to make sure people stay in line, follow the rules and someone needs to control the NPCs and monsters.
