Discount for GM's and RPG Games Discussion

Shaun

In the spirit of trying to encourage more roleplay games like D&D, Pathfinder, Vampire Masqurade etc. to be started up I propose the idea of a GM discount for those that take the time to GM said games.

Hopefuly people can give their input as to what sort of paramaters may be needed for the discount as well as just how much the discount should be. It would also be nice to hear from potential GM's what sort of things can be done to further encourage them to start up more roleplay games as well as the sorts of roleplaying games and systems people would like to see start up as these can possibly be suggested for purchase by the sociaty.

A Different day is the only way, as roleplaying is to much of a commitment for people to do on ethier days we have at the moment. Also a quite room as alot of the time people could not hear what was going on.

Being a GM is just as much part of the game as a player - granted it's more time consuming than being a player but an incentive to GM shouldnt be nesseccery.
You either want to do GM, or you don't. (in my opinion you NEED to want to GM in order to run a good game.)

The hardest parts about RPG's in the club are getting people to commit for a relatively long time period, getting them to stick to that commitment and arriving on time to play. Throw in the fact you're always playing to a time limit and your DnD adventures are never going to be as 'involved' as some would hope.

Not saying that RPG's at the club are bad- just that theres alot of problems to overcome and people have other interests they want to persue that may change on a week to week basis.

Its a problem we should try to resolve. We now have a second room for such things as RPGs. We would do well to hear more from people about what games they would like to GM/play. Resolving the issue of attendance and commitment is a more serious problem, and really depends on players who are happy to miss out on wargames once a week.
