The Dungeon Masters' Foundation Mk.II

[DarrenGMiller]

Hail and welcome to a glorious foundation:
The Dungeon Master Foundation
The purpose of this Guild is to provide a place for DMs to complain, share ideas, get ideas, and generally have a blast with our omisience Ah yes...the beauty of omnipotency.
This is an oasis of sorts, an oasis in the desert of players. New DMs can find advise from wise and aged ones. The counsil will review applicants and make decisions. I will serve as a Overseer of the Counsil of sorts. I will make sure that the counsil is serving the DMF well. If any counsil member becomes disruptive, they shall be removed after careful consideration by the other counsil members and myself. Now for the requirements for applicants

Member Requirements:
1) Be a DM or have a desire to learn how (No freaking duh!)
2)We have removed our rating system. we will only review the experience of those applying for counsil membership. Please admit though if you are inexperienced, one of the POINTS of the DMF is to help out those who are new to being behind the screen.
3) We request that all members have a link to our thread here.

Rules for All Members
1) Be respectful to EVERYONE. EVEN INEXPERIENCED DMs, YOU were inexperienced once. Violation of this rule will get you kicked out
2) No discussion of any novels.
3) No RPing in message board

I would like to be a part of this. Please consider this post my application. May I post immediately or do I have to wait? As for experience, I have been DM'ing since 1982 (with time off for good behavior from 1993-1997).

Even my initials indicate that I belong here.

Just as a matter of record, anyone can post here. It is an open forum as all of the rest of ENWorld. However, joining the DMF does give you some nice perks:

1. Recognition
2. Prestige
3. Application to the multi-PbP D&D game Chaos Evoker is developing
4. Tickets to the illegal zombie fights in the back room!

I've been fighting the good fight since '79. I understand your journey

Shhhh...keep it down! The clerics are looking for us!

I'm still waiting for Nightcloak's R-B story

Hey there. I would love to join the Foundation here.

I'm a long experienced roleplayer and a short experience DM, so most of my learning thus far has been purely orginizational techniques and the difficulty of playing several NPCs at once.

I've been "DMing" for roughly a year now, under the apprenticeship of my own DM (a very good one, I may add) but I have always been creating fantasy RPGs in whatever game I play, from creating custom RPG scenarios in Starcraft, to creating my own RPG systems before I even knew what D&D was.


Consider this my chainmail application.

WOOT!

I promise I will make you regret this!

Wait, I think that was supposed to say, "will NOT make you regret this." Oops...

Nightcloak, how did you know I'm the king of Ratbastards?

Oh... Just a hunch...

Must have been the most recent Ravenloft game.

A big hunch! There is a reason my players run from any good fog or mist flavor text.
"Just in case!" my a$$.

** No, they don't anymore, but they still go through the motions and complain about any random fog or mist text!!! **


And to Mordmorgan the Mad. I bow deeply to that awsome story. If you ever buy an account here, "King of the Rat Bastards" so needs to go in the custom title.

I gotta know. Did the Warlock make a madness and/or horror check and did he fail? Did he buy a ticket to straight-jacketville!

Oh, definitely!

Yes, he failed, but no, the character doesn't know it yet. The player has an idea, but I wanna toy with him some more. His character's physical body landed in Dr. Illhousen's (sp?) Sanitarium, and his mind found its way into the Nightmare Realms. He's going to have some fun with the Nightmare Man

The other PC is going to be playing a variety of temporary NPCs while her character is tending to her friend and her ailing father. The warlock will probably recover within 3 years (IG) or less, if he plays it right. Should take about a year RL to play out.

I'm still waiting for Nightcloak's R-B story

Thanks!


But sadly, it may have to wait a day or two.

Off topic/spoiler to keep from hijacking the forum:

[SBLOCK]I'm running out to pick up our eldest cat. He has had surgery to remove two cancer tumors today and is ready to come home. The vet says he is out of it and needs supervision for the evening and some basic TLC. Not to mention the wife who is broken up (We already lost one cat of 18 years this summer). Sad night at Nightcloak's home [/SBLOCK]


On the upside! I have two stories to bring that are personal favorites:
1. The first is a 2E Ravenloft story in honor of Mordagan the Mad (When good PC's make Van Richtens's most wanted list)
2. A 3E adventure involving a Beholder Lich-Mage!

Hopfully things go smooth and I'll be back quick!
