Pervasive Games can benefit greatly from being game-mastered rather than fully automatic. However, game-mastering pervasive games is not a simple task neither from a technical nor a game design perspective. In this article we discuss some of the core issues for pervasive game mastering based on two example games. The first game was a long duration pervasive larp, where the core game activity was role-play. The second game is a pervasive game which relies extensively on technology installations, and where game mastering is used to create a coherent experience mixing technology-mediated gaming with live role-play events. Based on these rather different games we outline the core issues and methods available for pervasive game mastering.
