DM School

[Kid Charlemagne]

That sounds like that could be a cool idea for a series of seminars at GenCon next year...

I second Kid Charemagne, I think that would be excellent seminars for next years GenCon. I would sign up, especially if Piratecat was teaching!

The best way to pick up good GMing skills is to observe other GM's. Pay close attention, decide for yourself what worked and what didn't.. and try things out in play.

I agree wholeheartedly with Peter: pay close attention to people who are GMing you, see what you like, see what you dont' like, and then work to incorporate the things into your games. I have learned a ton, and improved my GMing skills almost exponentially since using some of the techniques of Mark, whom I playtest with occaisionally, and Piratecat, whom I had the pleasure to learn Feng Shui through his game at the EN Chicago Gameday 2.

DM school you say? I think that a lot of people misunderstand the term Role-Playing Game because they overlook the word GAME! Any DM worth his salt should be able to provide the players with fun and adventure without stressing out over whether or not he has been sufficiently trained. Let experience come through play rather than rigorous study. But if you insist on this tom-foolery, then how do i enroll?

Topic was meant to be about the concept of a degree in DMing, but it drifted off course... Must explode...

SEVEN classes a Day? No thank you...
