Volunteer Commitment for Virtual TD

^{May 20 – 23, 2021 (Thursday – Sunday)}

Location Requirements

While this is a "virtual" event, some volunteers must physically come to Carbondale, IL. This is worked out on a case by case basis with each volunteer, but generally speaking all NPC actors and first-time Virtual DMs need to be physically present at or near the TD Workshop. Please indicate by checking the box on the next page if you are UNABLE to physically come to Carbondale.

---

Virtual DM Requirements

Due to the "virtual" nature of this event, ALL volunteers applying for DM positions must possess at least intermediate computer skills, be familiar with the Windows operating system, and provide their own computer systems*, the specifications of which include:

• Storage: Solid State Drive preferred

• Experience: Above average computing skills and previous experience with OBS/Streamlabs is a huge plus. Please include any relevant experience in your "additional info" on the last page of your application.
• Note: We're intentionally setting these requirements a bit higher and narrower than is strictly necessary.  We want to avoid unforeseen difficulties and configurations we haven't tested ourselves. Please be willing to close background processes, etc., in order to free up resources if necessary. 

The last page of this application asks for a URL that shares your system specs with us. Please visit http://specr.me and follow the instructions. You will be given a URL that shows us your specs!

*We may have a limited number of "loaner" machines. Check the box on the next page if you are interested in DMing but do not have a machine that is up to spec. Note that other requirements like having at least intermediate computer skills still apply.
