expanding community gming?

[Deleted]

If I am not mistaken, it is allowed generally for members to go ahead and gm for people on none quest and etc. However, this knowledge is not known or encourages doing. So, here is my suggestion. What if there is a proper system in place for members to gm people on missions that usually solo-able, fighting monsters in the creature in the index, personal story line—you get the idea. The person who gms may get some ryo as reward. Since these are not epic quests, board/site events the rewards does not need to be high.

The benefit for this system would be the following.

• Lessen the burden on staff for people who wants fighting creatures to be gm.
• Encourage more community interaction
• Give people experience in gming and possibly encourage people to become site official GM's down the road.

This idea does not require to be limited what I have here. You guys can expand on what members can do for other people or you can limited on what they can do.

What are you suggesting to help people know? It is already in the Player's Handbook that anyone can GM as long as it isn't an Event/Epic/Interactive Mission, etc. It is what I did to gain myself some experience.

P.S. I am not dissing the idea for I like it, I am just wonder specifically you had in mind? For what you put down is nice but very general.

Well I'm thinking a few ideas.

1: There the whole giving some kind proper reward for people to gm for none events stuff (if there is one already, I missed it lol.)

2: Perhaps adding some information in the game master request thread. Just add some lines about a member can gm for others for none event stuff.

Even though it is in the hand book, it pretty easy to miss. So by adding some small detail on the first post of the game request and add some sort of reward would help, me believe.

The rewards for gming are there for events specifically. This is to give the game master an incentive and a reward for coming up with and orchestrating the events for the site. Game masters are trusted to carry out these missions because they have shown some level of competency with the system and combat rules on site. 

It if you are keen to become a gm you can always apply.

it may be just me. But I really don't like the idea of non game masters/Kage/staff gming things. I've only ever seen it done with special permission.
