I'm only restricted by NY state SUNY guide lines and the colleges area of study guidelines. I'm a Creative Writing major but my focus and concentration is on Game Design and writing for the industry. Right now in my degree program I have listed several classes that don't exist anywhere that I know of. They are:The History of Role Playing GamesTheory of Game DesignCreative Writing: FantasyCreative Writing: Fantasy is the form and structure of writing adventures, settings, and supplemental materials.I'm wondering if any of you game designers out there who work as freelancers have any ideas about classes you wished they offered you when you were in school. Even any ideas for books, message boards or even possible teachers for me. I've already asked Mr. Louge and he said he was interested, I'm just not sure how much time he has. There's also this whole qualification process which I just found out about. I have to see how that works too. Anyways if anyone has any information or ideas I'd love to hear them.I know it's always been a freelance industry for the most part to break into but I feel maybe it shouldn't always be that way. The industry is over 30 years old now and maybe there should be some people who have degrees in these things. I know people have degrees in Game Theory but now it probably time to start exploring this industry in a similar fashion.Thanks for any ideas.ChrisP.S. My school is Empire State College and it is an accredited SUNY school of NY State. Check it out if you live in NY and want to go back to school. It's geared for adult learners who have a life and can't always sit in classes. It'll change the way you think about the college learning experience.</blockquote>
