Stepping Back from Dming
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 6:11 am
I really am not interested in plotline or campaign Dming anymore. I just don't enjoy it and I think it shows in my materials that I am not giving it my all.
Normally I would quit entirely but I see that the Moonshaes still needs administrative Dming still and character/customization Dming as well.
I can easily serve as this type of dm and help people work things out with personal plotlines, for example if your PC looses their faith or they need to plan a special social event like a wedding or a funeral.
It's been fun but its obvious to me that my Dming is not good enough and did not give the players what they wanted. Otherwise i'd be surrounded by people begging for my time week after week.
I hope this will prompt others to step up and Dm the Moonshaes. I know we just got T-ice and Kid, but I've yet to see T-ice Dm. We also have lost a number of dms who left and never really had the kindness to say "I quit." I can't say how frustrating it is for HDMS and DMS to not have closure when a Dm leaves.
So I can at least be an example and say here I am reducing my commitment to on-demand dming for social issues and customization issues.
PS. I still have the replacement cookies. It's a fairly nice item, so jump in the Q and get them from me.
