Enchanted Realms, Colorado Springs - September GM Call
Posted: Thu Aug 21, 2014 9:26 am
Greetings Pathfinders!!!
It's that time of the month again... I put out a request for those souls that are brave enough to bear the slings and arrows of the players as they come up with the wackiest solutions that make you want to do a face palm! August is almost over and the Year of the Sky Key has begun! We have a brand new season of scenarios starting with all sorts of weird new encounters.
This month, I'm also trying something new in that I would like to put out a call for a backup GM on Wednesday nights at Enchanted Realms. We have had such phenomenal turnouts that I would like to have someone volunteer to be available to run a 5th table if we need one on these nights. Over the last couple of months, we've gone from filling up one or two tables to filling up four tables consistently. This way, if we have a bunch of people show up at the last minute, we know that we will not have to turn anyone away. (I haven't had to turn anyone away yet, and I don't want to start!) Additionally, if you volunteer to be a backup GM, you can name whatever scenario you would like to have prepared for it (I do ask that it be a Tier 1 scenario of some sort)!
Now, some of you might be asking, "But O.J., what are the benefits of GMing?" I'm glad you asked! First of all, you get to help make sure that everyone in this wonderful little community of ours has a lot of fun. While I realize that this is more than enough of a benefit for most of you, on the more tangible front, anyone that volunteers to GM automatically gets first crack at saying "I want to play in THIS game..." Second, you get credit applied towards your GM status. As you get additional stars on your GM status, you gain certain privileges within the Pathfinder Society including the ability to replay games that you've already played for credit! Third, all of the players donate funds to your store account to help offset some of the costs associated with preparing a game. Finally, by volunteering to GM, you get the admiration and respect of your fellow gamers. Yes, you too can have young players look up at you with awe and marvel at your massive GM skills.
If you have not GMd before, that's OK. There are resources out there to help you figure things out and we have several people that will be able to help you get prepared for your first game on the other side of the screen. Ultimately, the only way you learn how to GM is to just do it, and we have all had our first time GMing at some point or another. This venue is a good place to cut your teeth on it, and this community is filled with friendly players that will help you through it as you get your GM groove on!
If you would you like to GM and play, please post under this topic or email me at whitemane_1@yahoo.com. Without further ado...
