ChrisD will be conducting training for anybody who would be interested in learning about becoming a WestMarches GM.
Saturday Feb 5th at 1900 GMT (2pm Eastern). If Anybody can't make the training at the scheduled time, it can be repeated upon request.

Syllabus includes (more suggestions welcome)
  1. Adventure scheduling:
    1. Becoming a GM or Officer.
    2. Rumors (unlocks)
    3. Scheduling (LFG postings, Discord, Bot Spam)
    4. Planning (Adventure Plan, GM only discord channels)
    5. Adventure design. I like to throw in a few small bits of Random Weirdness. Maybe plant new rumors. Know what to skip.
    6. Encounter design. Different types of encounters. Balancing Encounters.
    7. Evaluation (have another GM look over your plan)
    8. Rewards. What they must be, and where they come from.
  2. Policies:
    1. Encounter design
    2. Horrors are +1ECR from the book. Don't underestimate lethality of low CR characters or overestimate high ones.
    3. Permanent effects.
  3. Roll20 Interface
    1. Introduction to Roll20 tools
    2. Monster Library
    3. Preparing Roll20
    4. DupCharToken
    5. Cleanup.


This is open to everybody, whether you are serious about becoming a WM GM, or if you are just curious about the roll20 GM tools.
