TOPIC: Do you want to become a Combat DM?

Do you want to become a Combat DM? 6 years 6 months ago #1

I'm working on a combat DM training program where we would set up dedicated, hands-on training before or after one or more TD conventions each year. This will be designed for all sorts of people who are interested in being a combat DM, from somebody who has never volunteered before to somebody who is a regular volunteer but has done little or no combat DMing.

Right now I'm just collecting interest and then I'll see what I can put together. If you are interested please send me a PM to let me know. Also feel free to comment here on this thread if you have any feedback about the idea in general. Obviously I'm being vague on the details right now because it will depend on the level of interest.

Thank you!

Find a way to fix that concrete floor so that standing on it for 2 hours doesn't make me want to kill myself.

I've seen standing pads for a lot of the DMs.

Also, I'm interested, depending on timing of everything.

Would have an interest. Concrete floor concern though. Maybe use of a bar stool style chair next to combat board.

I'll have to ask, but my guess is you'd need to stand quite a bit to do this in the dungeon. I don't think you will be able to go quick enough sitting, that's my guess.

We do get anti-fatigue mats though if that would be enough to help?

Lounging divans would definitely be more comfortable for the DM's.

Include a handmaiden/serving boy to feed the DM grapes, and I think it would do a lot for volunteer retention.

If you thinking full time then I will pass since it would be too much physically.

If I knew before event registration for a convention I am attending then I could probably swing one negotiated 4 hr shift though if that would help out.

I would be interested in learning but have no experience

Just to be clear, this wouldn't be a volunteer activity, however the goal is to find some new DMs who could volunteer at future TD events.

Please keep PMing interest. If I get enough for GHC then I'll try to do something there (right now it is looking like Thursday evening is the best option).
