Welcome to the Academy’s Gamemaster (GM) course, offered in cooperation with STF’s Gamemaster Department (GMD). This course will help you decide whether GM’ing is right for you, the rules that govern GMs and how to go about getting your GM License.
In STF you cannot be a GM before being a Gamemaster Trainee (GMT). Everyone wishing to be a GM must participate in the GMT program.
Passing this exam is the first step to undertaking the GMT Program. All prospective GMTs after passing this must provide 3 GM (CO/XO references if required) and then are placed on a ship with a GMM.
At the 90-day mark, your GMM and CO will fill out an evaluation and either Pass, Fail or extend your review period. Your GMM will also provide you with all the coaching and help you need along the way. At the end of your sim you will go through one final review to determine if you pass your Gamemaster Training.
The pass rate for the exam at the end of this course is 75%.
Please read the current version of OGRE to find out what the current requirements are. You can find OGRE here: https://www.star-fleet.com/library/charters/departments/gmdept/ (2020 Updated Version)
This document also lists all the rules you will have to abide by when GMing in STF. It will be your responsibility to check the GM Department regularly for any changes. These rules are made to protect you and the players- by having these it is hoped that disputes will be short lived and easily settled.
