There’s been a lot of interest in the call that I put out last week, and a lot of it from quarters I wouldn’t have immediately thought would have responded, such as the indies and a huge number of people wanting specifically to teach women and children, and while unexpected, that’s been a great source of joy to me over the last week.
I’ve had offers of articles, programs, youtube videos and even turning up at conventions to impart knowledge to those who are just learning, and that got me to thinking…
For me, GMing is a skill best taught by another GM who’s already done their time in the trenches, you can’t teach surprise, and you certainly don’t want people looking through the how to guide when they first take the step to running a game, doesn’t inspire confidence in them or the game they’re running if they’re still looking things up.
The format of the program that’s been put together has all the different aspects to it, from written word to live display, but I wanted everyone’s thoughts on how they think it best to impart the knowledge?
For me, having run a games team for years, it’s starting the new GM as a player and working them up from there.
