Do you DM?

[Mercule]

I am a GM. To be a player is an oddity for me.

I go both ways (EEK!). I run an Eberron game and I play in two others (my group rotates campaigns every few sessions).

I came late to buying books, only starting about 18 months ago (after a decade or so out of the hobby), so my buying dollar has been dedicated to building up my library. I focus on core rules and Eberron at this point. I have yet to buy an off the shelf adventure, but I did buy one back issue of Dungeon in order to run a game (#133, Chimes at Midnight).

I predominantly DM. As for buying habits... I hate PDF products. I prefer a proper hardcopy book. These days my only interests are decent modules, monster sourcebooks and the WotC environment series. No interest in anything else.

i am a referee.

if you do a conversion for OD&D(1974) i'd be more interested.

As often as possible. Sadly for me, we've been committed to an Age of Worms campaign that's been going for a really long time now that someone else is running, so I've only had the chance to run a few one shots here and there the last... oh, two years or so.

Before that, I was running and I loved it. I think I'm a little bit more of a GM than a player at heart, although I enjoy both.

I DM exclusively, i don't buy PDFs (they tend to dissapear on my hard drive). As for buying adventures i still have 3 years worth of Dungeon mag. to mine to seek out new ones.

I'm Castle Keeper/DM/GM/Referee most of the time. Mostly because it is rare for me to find a CK/DM/GM/Ref that I like playing the game/campaign of.

For the last year or so most of my "play time" has been in my kids efforts to learn to run games.

Which was a surprising learning experience for me. I had forgotten what my early games were like and why they were fun. My kids have reminded me and I have changed my game mastering style to return to that, to an extent. I am not going back to full Monty Haul, but I am going closer to it. My games had become too rigid and too reality based. I have reawakended the "wonder" parts of my imagination and put them back into my games.

Forgot about buying habits. I buy adventures in a heart beat, when they are in print.

So when you guys finish Burning Sky and offer it in print, like has been recently done with a few ENWorld products, I'll buy it.

I only buy short adventures in PDF. Running "Against the Giants" from PDF taught me that.

I would recommend expanding the poll (as a new poll, so I can vote in it) with the following options:

1. I GM almost exclusively.
2. I GM more than I play.
3. I GM and play in roughly equal measure.
4. I play more than I GM.
5. I play almost exclusively.

You will get a better assessment of potential buyers, and also see a more accurate representation of the distribution of the viewership on this site. As it is currently phrased, anyone in parts 2-4 really had to guess which extreme to select.

I almost exclusively DM. I prefer it to playing.

With any luck, I'll actually get to start running The War of the Burning Sky this coming Sunday.
