Did you know in correspondence college courses, you can get credits for having been a DM/GM?

Wait, what?

Which school? I need to get some credits for running Pathfinder Society at GenCon 2009! (Gotta be worth AP level credit...)

I've been DMing since I was 13. I'll be a paralegal in no time. Lol!

Haven't read any of the thread but the OP and Critias' posts. In my opinion it's a number of things, ranging from gamers behavior and hygiene to it being seen as "nerdy" and alot of peoples reluctance to try new things. It's also harder than playing a video game or watching tv or movies. I am shocked by how many people I work with don't read books because it's too much effort.

Not to mention there was this "Chick" (as in the Chick religious tracts) assisted movie, late 70's maybe early 80's staring tom hanks before he made it big, where Hank's character goes psycho while playin a live action version of a DnD knock off in the steam tunnels under the college where he is a student and has what is called a "Full Psychotic Break" ends up killing a few people.

The movie was Mazes & Monsters. (Someday I will meet Tom Hanks and I will ask him about this movie. It's my life's goal.)

The Spoony One did a great review of it.

Are you joking?

Not a joke. I found that when I was taking correspondence courses from prison.

[Angelone]

So how would you go around getting credit for GMing? Is it just a prison thing or can anyone get that?

No no no. It's not a prison thing. If you look up Coastline Community College, I think they have a "life experience credits" thing. or you can search life experience credits. I probably shouldn't have mentioned the prison thing...

[Angelone]

Don't worry about the prison thing, I joined the Army it's similar sometimes

[FastJack]

Pfft... don't worry about the prison thing. I doubt anyone's going to hold that against you.

I was actually signed up to go into the Navy. I was going into BUDs to become a Navy SEAL. But I was way too crazy back then, and I blew it, right before they sent me to basic. 6 years later, I'm going to school, getting ready to have a baby, and trying to be a productive member of society.

[FastJack]

Heck, you sound like decent folk to me!

Congrats on the upcoming baby!
