Attention, good people of Baldur's Gate . . .
The DM team would like to announce that we will now be accepting DM applications via continuous intake. This means that we will be moving away from dedicated recruitment periods and will accept, evaluate, and rule on DM applications as they come to us. As such, please feel free to review our expectations and send in a DM application whenever you would like! (Be sure to PM this to the DM Team forum group with the subject line DM Application.)
DM expectations:
- Time commitment. Incoming DMs should be prepared to spend a reasonable amount of time IG as a DM. There are periodic activity audits where hours spent DMing on the client are quantified. This is a measure that may be used to determine a given DM's activity level, and it may also be used to determine if a DM is active enough to remain on the team. Communication and participation in discussions are also important to us. It is not mandatory or expected for a DM to spend all of their time logged in BG as a DM. We are happy to accept part-timers. Balance and keeping in touch with the player community is important.
- Willingness to learn. Incoming DMs should be prepared to read all the information (including but not limited to guidelines, rules, how-tos, common policy, and procedure) provided by HDMs or admins. Willingness to do this, as well as willingness to receive guidance from senior DMs, ask questions, and undergo training, are part of the role.
- Good conduct. Incoming DMs should be prepared to exercise patience and courtesy with fellow staff members of BG:TSCC but most especially with the player base, even those you may have had negative experiences with as a player. DMs are expected to set an ongoing good example.
