Gamemaster Department Report- April 2021

Posted May 16, 2021, 12:33 p.m. by Rear Admiral Lindsay Bayes (Gamemaster Director) (Lindsay B)

Department Status:

Stats:

Active Gamemasters: 12 GMs for 23 Ships (2 Over limits)
Current GMTs in progress: 1
Current Mentors: 4
GMTs waiting for assignment: 3
Ships with vacancies: 2 (Chernov and Saracen)

Things at the moment are currently stable, though we have a couple vacancies that remain unfilled. They (for different reasons) are not GMT suitable, so we can’t fill those vacancies that way. It will require more GMs in the pool or current GMs being in a position to take on more ships.

I’ve sent out a basic ‘touching base’ email to the current GMs. I only received replies from 5 people so I will need to reach out to the rest to determine their status. If you are an active GM who didn’t get this email, please check your spam and/or reach out to me.

Gamemaster Training (GMT) Program:

James Sinclair with Linds Bayes as Mentor:
James’ sim is reaching the latter stages and looks to be completed in short order. It’s been going well and he’s been learning how to best deal with some of the late stage issues than can plague a GMT.

-we have Prospective GMs (those who have passed the GMT exam). One has recommendations and a Mentor in order and now we’re waiting for a suitable placement ship. The second Prospective needs recommendations submitted and then we can proceed with the process. {Edit} We also have someone who wants to attempt their GMT again and are setting things up so they can do so.

Reference Manual

-Rob Archer submitted his first draft of his Alstaire species and was returned to him after receiving a few comments for additions that would make it even better.

Current Projects/Tasks:

-Updating and re-posting the Public Service Announcement (PSA) posts: these posts are directed towards COs & XOs, and FComms & AFComms and remind/teach everyone the correct procedures for GMs and their interactions with the department. Basically, who you need to talk to under what circumstances. Most importantly I want to make sure that people new to these positions understand how our training program works and how we can best support ships, GMs and GMTs.

-Amanda Noon Archive: the new Archive is functional and while we still have some things to do with the old Archive, we have decided to release the new one now to get people used to how it functions while we finish cleaning up old stuff. Posts will be put up about this and we will do a group email to make sure everyone has those links.

-Department Planning: last month was a bit of a wash for me so I’m behind in the brainstorming and planning process I wanted to have with my fellow department members. I have several items I want to tackle this term but I will discuss them with the rest of the team first before announcing them.

In short, there’s a lot I want to do but we’re going to need a bit more lead time to get things rolling.
