Game Master Recruitment: JCTC

Nerd Louisville is on a mission to make Louisville the most inclusive and awesome nerd city in the universe, and we need your help! As a volunteer Gamemaster, you’ll be at the heart of our efforts to foster creativity, build community, and inspire the next generation of tabletop gamers.

We’re excited to partner with Jefferson Community & Technical College (JCTC) this spring to bring tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) to students who are new to the hobby. Your role as a Gamemaster will be to guide players through exciting adventures while creating a safe and welcoming environment.

Application Deadline is January 10th, 2025

What We’re Looking For:

  • Gamemasters with a passion for storytelling and teaching who can run games like Dungeons & Dragons (5th Edition) or similar TTRPG systems.
  • Volunteers who can commit to running at least one session per month from January through May.
  • Game leaders who are mindful of safety and boundaries, ensuring everyone feels comfortable at the table.
  • Creative individuals who can craft engaging games that showcase the world of TTRPGs to new players.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead at least four (4) sessions during the Spring semester. Additional sessions are welcome and can be scheduled based on availability and student interest.
  • Keep games beginner-friendly while showcasing the variety and depth of the TTRPG experience.
  • Ensure sessions adhere to Nerd Louisville’s Code of Conduct and create a welcoming environment for everyone.
  • Respect players’ boundaries and use collaborative tools to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants. (Guidelines and best practices will be shared prior to the start of the program.)
  • Provide a brief synopsis of your planned sessions to Nerd Louisville for review.

Perks of Volunteering:

  • Recognition for your volunteer hours, which may qualify for employer volunteer programs.
  • A Nerd Louisville branded t-shirt to show off your contribution to the community.
  • Free admission for two to our annual tabletop gaming convention in 2025 (final event name TBA)—or choose a TTRPG book (up to $50 value) as a thank-you gift if you prefer.

Be part of the team that’s shaping the future of Louisville’s nerd community and sharing the joy of tabletop roleplaying games with the next generation. Let’s make this spring unforgettable for JCTC students—and for you, too!
