Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })My Life With Master is a role-playing game of "villainy, self-loathing, and unrequited love" where players take on the roles of The Igors serving under a Mad Scientist or some other kind of evil Master, the latter played by the Game Master but collectively created by the group. The goal of the game is for one of the minions to gather enough courage and to defy the Master in an attempt to kill them, thus freeing the world from their tyranny.Created by Paul Czege of Half Meme Press, MLWM is one of the standout 2000-2010 indie RPGs, alongside Sorcerer, Dogs in the Vineyard, and Apocalypse World, due to its value as marriage counseling for codependant polycules.

Failure Is the Only Option: For the Masters, anyway. Endgame starts when someone successfully resists an order from the Master.

Blessed with Suck and Cursed with Awesome: All henchmen have "More Than Human" and "Less Than Human" qualities which give them awesome powers at the expense of being, well, human.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Not in every game, but game ends generally tend toward this. Depending on the final stats of the game world and the individual characters, the PCs might flee the town, be killed, be Driven to Suicide (possibly of a Taking You with Me nature), be accepted by the townsfolk, or even develop into a new Master.

From Bad to Worse: If a character acquires too much Self-Loathing through doing the Master's work, things get worse for the community through a "Horror Revealed," and if it gets too bad ...well, the Torches and Pitchforks start coming out.
