D&D 5E Will you enter the Dungeon Master Challenge?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

As announced Friday, June 11.

 

[Inchoroi]

Nah. I've had my stuff that I wrote put in a book that got my name cut from it, so I'm good.

 

[Lanefan]

No, 'cause anything I write wouldn't follow their requested/desired lore. ('course, it wouldn't be written for 5e either, so there's that...)

Good in principle to see they're doing something like this; but if the rights to non-winning entries don't revert back to the authors it's nothing but a rip-off: avoid with all haste.

 

[Urriak Uruk]

Yes, although if I made it to the top 10 (big if!), I would politely turn that down and just ask to be put up for consideration as a freelancer for any new projects WotC's working on.

I've got no interest working as a "professional DM" for WotC, but I am interesting in working as a freelancer on future books. So the network-building is attractive to me, the performing not so much.

 

[Retreater]

No. Because none of the required steps have anything to do with being a good DM (designer, maybe), and being good on a Livestream is a completely different set of skills than just running a great game (which includes entertaining an audience, having good camera skills).
It's like they don't understand what their game is even about.

 

[Shiroiken]

I don't need to prove myself to you people

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

No. Because none of the required steps have anything to do with being a good DM (designer, maybe), and being good on a Livestream is a completely different set of skills than just running a great game (which includes entertaining an audience, having good camera skills).
It's like they don't understand what their game is even about.

Or they know that a lot of DMs have acquired those skills during the pandemic.

I'm always up for a chance to demonstrate my superior whip, chain and restraint techniques. When you know your stuff, around the cuffs is the only place that doesn't get a mark.

Found the drow.

I'd actually like to join for the sport of it but I'm actually terribly busy and I'm not even very likely to DM my own games.

If I find the time, I'll consider joining but I won't make promises.

 

[Dausuul]

No. Because none of the required steps have anything to do with being a good DM (designer, maybe), and being good on a Livestream is a completely different set of skills than just running a great game (which includes entertaining an audience, having good camera skills).
It's like they don't understand what their game is even about.

As I said in the other thread, it seems like they're trying to find the next Matt Mercer. Which is great and all, but definitely not my gig.
