Over that course of that span, the output of GMing (in any/all of % of user base, base competency, upper level competency, breadth of competency) has not been good. If we’ve seen a recent upward tick in any/all of the above 4, that doesn't make a case for the 40 year model of Jedi : Padawan relationship and the mystifying of the craft as being helpful. In fact, it’s almost surely has to be the opposite (as [USER=5142]@Aldarc[/USER] notes above) given the regime change we’ve seen as of late with respect to this (recent spate of extremely well-designed games, more robust analysis on game design and how to design to specific play priorities, how to GM to specific play priorities, and greater access to functional/technical tutorials) would be the corresponding factor to any uptick in GMing capability.</p></blockquote><p></p>
