Our Culture and Expectations
Integrity & Confidentiality:
NOTE: DM and QM candidates at this time must be familiar with the server lore, history and expectations. This is to ensure familiarity and understanding of the setting as TDN is heavily customized and altered, and consistency and accuracy is key to good DMing and QMing alike. We don't expect perfection -> However it is generally obvious when someone has or hasn't read even the base level setting alterations we've created - so please bear that in mind.
The Dragon's Neck is looking to add some enthusiastic, passionate and capable QMs & DMs to our team. Joining the team in this role grants you the ability to develop and execute on unique, artistic and world-shaping storylines that play out on TDN. We are looking for fair-minded story-tellers who can work alongside the rest of the QM/DM team.
All QMs and DMs will need to submit a sample event concept during the process of being considered for the position.
Differences between QM & DM
Dungeon Masters are expected to lead and execute on complex storylines and narrative elements. DMs should expect to spend a minimum of 10 hours/week supporting TDN.
Quest Masters are expected to provide 'in-the-moment' spice and RP additions for players. Although minor, single shot quests are acceptable, major events will be something a QM supports a DM on, rather than runs entirely on their own. This is an excellent position for individuals new to DMing in general. QMs should expect to spend a minimum of 5 hours/week supporting TDN.

Please submit the responses to the answers below via PM to Aschent_.
Applicants can expect to receive a response within 72 hours with direction on next steps. If an interview is conducted, it will be a relatively freeform discussion as to your personal views of DMing and what you can bring to the table, along with how you'd like to see TDN improve.
Assurances
While this process may sound a bit intimidating, the hope is that it will be an enjoyable experience and helpful for both the players and the DM candidates. If you are a candidate and you are not selected as a DM following the trial, don’t worry; we will offer you some gentle, constructive feedback on why you were not selected. Just because you were not selected does not necessarily mean we would not consider you again in future, providing you are willing to work with the feedback and spend some time as a player on the server to better get a feel for the culture and vibe to which we aspire.
Integrity & Confidentiality:
- Trust is the foundation of our team. All members must uphold a high standard of integrity and maintain the confidentiality of our work. Some features are designed to surprise our community, and protecting those surprises is critical. Leaking or sharing sensitive information is strictly prohibited.
- Collaboration is key to our success. We value open discussions and spirited debates, but respect and professionalism must always come first. Each team member is expected to contribute positively to the group dynamic and commit to shared goals.
- Our work is fueled by enthusiasm, creativity, and personal motivation—not monetary gain. We believe that the joy of contributing to a unique and detail-rich project is its own reward.
