Hey Everyone,

For this upcoming July quarter I thought I would start the application process sooner. For those interested in DMing, we will be reviewing applications until July 16th! As an extra bonus, as a DM you can roleplay a kobold!

The application deadline will be 16th of July .



DM information and application template:
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.
