Message: <blockquote data-quote="warlordgdx" data-source="post: 4801166" data-attributes="member: 83215">Thanks for the replies guys.As for credentials - About 14 years experience dungeon mastering, 20 years playing RPGs in general. Experience in 1st ed., 2nd ed., 3rd ed., and 4th ed systems as well as the design philosophies implied for each edition. I am not a published DM, but do have a homebrew world that the mini-campaign would take place in that I have been cooking for several years - I mention that because I may make a case of displaying the many subleties of creating your own campaign world as part of the course.In regards to non-gaming skills? I'm an IT network coordinator and web designer. As a web designer, I've learned the importance of breaking big ideas down into their core concepts or conceptional pieces if you will. I've also had experience as a software trainer in my line of work. While those points may not sound so impressive, It's my hope to host a blog and free articles that would introduce would be buyers to my content and my teaching points, and let them decide if my course would be worth their hard-earned moneyThe price point comparison to Monte's subscription service was a great suggestion, thanks a bunch!As far as the breadth of the course material, it's going to be my intention to distill the functions of the DM down to several core concepts that may be elaborated upon - kind of an 'object oriented' approach to learning to DM. Those core concepts would be expanded upon with future content. Of course, as part of the core rulebooks for the current edition, I would like to offer up unique monsters, items, etc., or perhaps challenge my advanced classes to design a dungeon composed entirely of player-created monsters or content.In retrospect, I agree that ENWorld may not be the perfect place to survey for a beginner's D&D course, but I respect it's members' opinions above all else out there for sure - thanks for the replies guys.Chris aka Welock</blockquote>
