[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8855822, member: 6790260"] That...would be one of the very reasons why I think we have such a shortage. When you're thrust into the unknown with a veritable soup of contradictory advice, where you cannot filter out the good from the bad without extensive experience (which usually takes [I]years[/I] to develop), that's a problem. You have a recipe for (a) people who might want to being scared off by the "I have no idea what I'm doing" effect, and (b) people dipping their toes in, making serious and disheartening mistakes, and then deciding they'd rather do something else instead. Much better to, y'know, actually try to build a core of teaching that people can start from. It will never be perfect for everyone, but it will (almost guaranteed) produce better results than throwing prospective DMs to the wolves and presuming they'll stick to it long enough to figure it out.
