Quote from: Ras Algethi;1054705I am more curious to what you were searching to pull that up?

Quote from: Warboss Squee;1054651Seeing as one of the requirements is 5+ years of drum circle facilitation (whatever the hell that means), yeah, it's a joke.

QuoteA drum circle is any group of people playing (usually) hand-drums and percussion in a circle. They are distinct from a drumming group or troupe in that the drum circle is an end in itself rather than preparation for a performance.

Quote from: The Exploited.;1054734I personally find the concept hilarious.

There are quite a few independent numpties trying to charge for GMing. I've been seeing a few pop up on youtube over the last year or two. GrimJim interviewed one on a live stream a few weeks back.

Quote from: Omega;1054740Yeah it has come up here and over on BGG about DMs wanting to be paid to DM. You can guess how well that goes over.

What I was though introduced to early in my introductions to RPG groups was the idea of a group pool where members could donate cash towards getting new product like modules. If everyone chipped in even a buck a session it would not take long to have enough to get a new module or supplement.
