Open DM Invite to hidden forum.

[Matt Neuman]

Hi there,

On another board it was suggested that it would be nice if there was a way for DMs to participate in conversations off of the popular boards, due to the fact that their players also frequent those boards.

To that end I've set up a password protected forum offsite for DMs to do just this.

If you want to access the forum, just let me know by emailing me at matt_neuman@yahoo.com. I'll send you an access password, and the link to the board.

Cheers,

Matt

Welcome to ENWorlds!

What message board system does it use?

 

[Matt Neuman]

It runs on Ultimate PHP board.

So umm, do you scan each potential applicant to ensure they are not players lying to get the skinny on us DMs? Sounds like a logistical nightmare to me.

I don't have access to my e-mail here, but could you send the password to "temanp at hotmail dot com"?

I'll go take a gander .

It wouldn't be possible to ensure that everyone who accesses the board is a DM, not a player, so basically its running on an honor system.

I'm trusting that you are a DM (or at least that your DM isn't a participant).

So far the boards are pretty empty, (lots of lurkers though)...but I just got them set up on Wednesday night, and passwords started going out yesterday so I guess it's not too surprising.

*shrug*


Cheers,

Matt

And what about those of us who both play and DM?

I am sorry, but you will have to be terminated.

Basically the point is just to provide a place where you as a DM can bounce ideas around without spoiling it for your players.

So if you want to participate as a DM, it's all good as long as you aren't playing in a game run by another participant.

For example: I play and DM, so I haven't invited the two players from my games who also run games that I play in because I want to talk about the games they play in.

I'm not sure if that made sense...

*gets more coffee*

This all started with a discussion about starting up a mailing list for this (but I'm not a fan of them, so I set this up as an alternative).
