I came up with this idea about getting to know some of the GM's better for those of use who can't or don't get to go to SimuCon's or actually meet the GM's.

I for one have a couple GM's I would love to get to know better. I think it would also break down the stigma that all GM's are these horrible people who sit in their dark rooms looking to punish people.

So what I have proposed is that we as a community begin brainstorming on a couple things. The first of these things are to make a list of the order we would like to try and interview the GM's. Who do you want to hear from first? I can't guarantee that this will happen, but I need the information to atleast try.

The second task is the one I am most concerned about us not being able to approach in a respectful and unintrusive manner. We need to create a list of questions that cover a wide range of topics. We know we can't ask what merchant this GM's plays, but maybe ask them what they used to enjoy as a player. Make them neutral questions that they can answer without feeling that we are intruding.

So what say you? Are you willing to put forth the required maturity and effort and lend me your ideas? Or is this going to turn into another slug fest after the GM's give me their time to interview them?

I posted this in the Gemstone Gems folder because this is not going to be a flame war. And if any of the GM's like the interview idea and I get the pleasure to interview them this is where they will be posted.

So lets get thinking about who and what we are going to ask. Lets shoot for 25 good questions that range from different topics. From whats your favorite food to where would you like to see the game heading in three to four years.

All I am asking is that you brainstorm and post whatever comes into your mind as something you would like to know. Post it, and I will sift through the questions and see what works.

- If you could have all the current restrictions lifted, what type of area/item/event/creature would you most like to create?

- What's the strangest Assist you ever did?

- What is your PC name ?? ;-)

- What's your favorite area in Gemstone?

How's that for a start??

2.) What new feature would they like to see implemented in the future.

3.) What is the most common assist they respond to (in general terms, no details).

4.) What is the most frustrating thing they are required to handle.

5.) What is the most fun thing they do.

6.) How long have they been playing Gemstone.

Okay, that's enough from me!

Questions for the GMs...

1) What do you do when you're not logged in GS? (what kind of work do you do, if you work, or do you have kids at home you take care of?)

2) Can/will you claim designing any particular area of the game? What was the most difficult part of that process for you, and what was the most fun part?

3) Which storyline in GS did you enjoy the most, whether as a player or a GM? Why?

4) Do you have any unique hobbies outside of GS? (like collecting red metal things, or mud-filled frisbee competitions, etc.)

5) Who is your favorite author, and which of his/her books or series grabs your attention most?

That's my 5, and thanks Bucky for the idea! Hope the GMs don't mind and are willing to "tell all!"

Heya Sorcette! Good to see ya!

And dammit .. Stache! My long lost brother! Tell him I miss him a ton in the game!

Cheers,

I put the "P" in pretty much anything reg

1. What happened to Will Enhancement?

2. Has Platinum turned out to be a successful business venture?

3. What changes would like to see in the player population as a whole? Not to say that "this group" should quit playing, but more along the lines of what type of attitude adjustment from all the players would most benefit GemstoneIII?

4. To the best of your knowledge, does Andraste really play naked, and if so, is she hot, and if so, is she available for meaningless lusty person to person 'conversation', and if so, should I provide a few hours of uninterrupted tantalizing 'conversation' (briefly interrupted every 20 minutes for a powerhunt), do you think I can get her to alter my tightly woven spidersilk sack? Has she altered your tightly woven spidersilk sack? But seriously, what's the most steamy tabloid material relating to 'this guy you know' and 'somebody else' that's gone on behind the scenes in the GM castle? Humorous stories or chic flic caliber tales qualify, but score fewer points.

5. Hindsight is 20/20. If you could go back in time, would you still allow items like forest green brigandine or fel hafted vultite waraxes into the economy / combat / Elanthian environment?

GMs I really want to hear from:
1. Romulus, Romulus, Romulus, Romulus. (That's one vote but it counts as four.)
2. Warden
3. Andraste
4. Ophion
5. Kennesaw

And if you get Mahegh instead, I won't be reading that crap because I'd rather gouge my eyeballs out with staples than give him the respect of reading his comments. (Hey just a hint, but in my usually positive opinion, he needs some supervision.) reg

Ashemu's player reg

I can't really think of any questions, but I'll try.

Let me know if you need help 'coercing' GMs in to doing interviews. reg
