Britt 04-23-07, 08:11 PM	There were Grandmaster and higher levels in the old system. As far as I know, there has only been one person to pass the new Grandmaster test, because it was an internal test only :) AFAIK, there are no Grandmasters currently.

Reylance 04-24-07, 03:10 PM	I don't like the new RPGA membership cards. I keep an old one with me, the one that says "Paragon" and has my levels from the old points system.

Was it as wrought full of trick questions and typos as the herald and master level tests were? :P

Mithreinmaethor 04-24-07, 07:26 PM	Has anyone one seen the cards that are listed under your membership ? Log in like you are going to check your points. Instead of "View your activity" click the "GM, Memberships and Personal Information" link. There you will find a box that lists "Current Memberships". You can click on each and it shows a card with your name etc. The DCI number is your RPGA number with an extra 2 digits at the front. These are setup so you can print them. I am thinking of printing my players one and GM one and laminating them back to back and wearing them when I hit conventions.
kenobi65 04-24-07, 09:21 PM	Has anyone one seen the cards that are listed under your membership ? Yeah, I saw those. I don't *want* them to make my DCI number my RPGA number with more digits. My DCI number is a 4-digit number. :D
JJeff 04-24-07, 09:25 PM	I thought all you need to qualify for Grandmaster was to be a Master for 6 months and pass the test. I won't be taking the test ever though. I can't fulfil the requirements for sustaining the rank: "Facilitate six (6) game days or conventions in a 12-month period" ... Unless Retail games count... I'ver been running from a store.
Britt 04-24-07, 09:26 PM	But the test isn't available, AFAIK.
Southernskies 04-25-07, 12:50 AM	Grandmaster also requires an interview at a major convention. Used to meet all the pre-reqs; the i/v could have been an issue as we used to only have 1 person able to do the panel i/v. No idea what the current situation is.
Reylance 04-25-07, 10:10 AM	Yeah, I saw those. I don't *want* them to make my DCI number my RPGA number with more digits. My DCI number is a 4-digit number. :D My DCI number was also four digits, but the DCI threw a "2000" in front of it, so now it's eight digits.
