[QUOTE="jasper, post: 7614848, member: 277"] I play a few games at con. YES DM quality range from oh my gawd, to can I take you home. I have DM at cons, organized D&D at Cons and run some epics. I had some great DMs, and others I have hinted they not welcomed to DM if I in charge. Mainly due not knowing the rules, or not having a loud enough voice to be heard at the table. Epics are kind of silly with their time stop BS but that is buy in. Organizers. Leave DM feedback sheets on the table. Ask the customers to fill out and drop the feedback sheets into a big box. A few days after the con, read total and summarize the feed back. Give each individual dm feedback by email or in person. Bob your third slot had a problem child but the 5 other players gave 5 stars. The rest of you games came back with great feedback. Bob. You said you ran the modules before. People complained they could not hear you. And it took 4 hours for your 2 hour slot. You will not be needed next year. Bob. None of you tables made it but you did pick up 3 tables for random people. You got average to great feedback. Good job. Now it is up to you to decide to give the actual sheets to the person. I suggest you only do for ones which had positive reviews. *** DMs prerun the module if possible. This has helped me as I made mistakes during the practice and had other players look over the module and say This is badly worded do this, EtC. I do understand occasionally you are just handed the module 20 minutes before show time. [/QUOTE]
