My Life with Master is an independently published role-playing game written and published by Paul Czege and published by Half Meme Press. It won the 2004 Diana Jones Award.
Players in the game portray the Igor-like minions of an evil Master who preys on the nearby Townsfolk. The prototypical setting of the game is in an unspecified Eastern European country in the 18th century. The game rules describe the minions in terms of their level of Weariness and Self-Loathing, and the connections of Love that they have (successfully or unsuccessfully) tried to make with the Townsfolk. Games culminate with the death of the Master at the hands of one of his minions.
