GM 101 slots

Post by greywizard77 » Mon Jan 19, 2015 4:55 pm

So, has anyone gone through the GM 101/201 sessions? Are they worth it? Will there be others offered besides the Con on the Range?
I've GM'd several times (1 star), but I'm no expert. Trying to decide if I want to play or attend the GM sessions or not.

Any thoughts or personal experiences would be appreciated

Is it worth it?  Ultimately, that's up to you to decide.

Here are my thoughts on the matter.  There will be several people at the table discussing GMing, sharing stories, thoughts and ideas.  The person "teaching" the class will really be discussing what has worked for them, and asking others what works for them, all while directing the conversation using the GM 101 and GM 201 handouts published by Paizo.

For the Con on the Range, currently our Venture Captain (Jacque) and myself will be "teaching" the courses.  We are both fairly experienced GMs, but we intend to be learning from the people we are talking with as much as they might learn from us.

Hope this helps!

Hopefully the conversation at the 101 and 201 tables focuses on the #1 goal of all PFS tables: having fun. 

I've seen too many instances of GM's getting very competitive and trying to kill PCs over the last year.  Good GMs should know the difference.

As an aside, I hear Bonekeep level 3 is running this weekend, too.

Thanks for reaching out to me, OJ: I appreciate that.  I will see you at the con.
