And, I guess, the total lack of response is at least one of the reasons for
the current state of affairs.

Hi Jim,

Do you have any idea of the numbers you are talking about?

The number of GM's? The number of GMs we are short?
Players?
The shortfall of spots where people not able to get onto a game?

We could increase the GM award (5,000exp/7,500exp while GMing & Playing and
10,000exp when only GMing and not playing) and see if this helps.
I am less confident this will tempt people into GMing. Historically
the award has not helped.

On the other hand are we short of GMs - Jim and William run 75% of games so
this makes me think you two just need to work harder.

Kind regards

Jono

There are four games this season for 28 players. A lot of our regular
players are not playing this season. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. Me,
Clare, Michael Parkinson, Errol, Ian Wood, Bernard.
That is a disturbing trend.
I agree, increasing the award does not seem to encourage people to DM. This
is because, it seems to me, that most people don't enjoy it.
We are short players AND DMs.
