What exactly do they send you? And since I'm 14, what can I expect? Is there anything I have to do? How many underage DMs are there?

Someone CAN set up and order them for you, and you can then run them, but whoever did the ordering will then have to report them as well. As far as what you get: nothing per se, just a letter of congratulations and probably some membership cards to sign up new players. As you earn reward points for judging, you will start to get minis, templates, campaign cards, etc., depending on how many points you earn. If you are not signed up for the D&D Rewards program, go do it right now. It takes awhile to get through the system. (It took my last two players five weeks before they started getting their points).

The youngest is 10 and he sucessfully GMed his first APL6 game yesterday. The youngest female GM is 17 and she prefers Gming to playing. The main differences in rewards are you recieve a few miniatures and things like templates for your GM points. You will also get a plastic card once you get sufficient reward points up. Another bonus is some conferences will also let you play for free if you gm a game for them.

Herrbard 08-07-06, 07:12 AM	Yep, the person who reports them has to be the same person who ordered them, therefore must have an RPGA number. The only way to report results is from the web account of the person who ordered the adventures.

Well, he plays every once in while, basically only when he is THERE and there is nothing to GM. He has like a 3rd level wizard whose whole AR stack is APL 10+ (filling empty player seats when he wasn't needed to GM).
Shieldhart91 08-08-06, 09:32 AM	Alright, that'll work. I don't plan on DMing like every game known to man- just DM in case a DM didn't show up or something. That is the only reason I wanted to take that test and pass. Just for a back-up DM. No sweat.
