There’s still time to enjoy New Gamemaster Month!
Running throughout January, this long-running initiative encourages new or lapsed gamemasters to take the plunge and start running roleplaying games. It offers ‘Inspiration, advice, and a step-by-step process that guides prospective GMs up to and through their first game’. The programme revolves around a month-long seminar ‘in the form of twice-weekly posts’; each of these guide newbies through the next stage and then encourages participants to apply those lessons with a variety of ‘quick, enjoyable activities that actually get you ready to run your first game’. The programme is also designed to avoid being too cerebral and, instead, leans toward easy-to-follow, hands-on seminars. It also promises participants will soon be running RPG sessions ‘without a hitch and having a great time doing it!’
The programme also enjoys support from an impressive array of RPG publishers, ensuring participants can choose a genre or game with which they feel the most comfortable. These include—but are by no means limited to—games such as Dungeon Crawl Classics, Trail of Cthulhu, the endlessly versatile Savage Worlds, and my personal favourite, Magical Kitties Save the Day. And no, I’m not joking.
So, what are you waiting for? Get yo ass to the New Gamemaster Month website and start gamemastering games!
