[QUOTE="Raddu, post: 7715027, member: 25791"] I've just dipped my toe into professional DMing (2 months). I'm not to the point where it's my only gig, I'm still doing social media for RPG companies and Kickstarters, but it's another revenue stream. The hours is the thing, how much do you need to prep to make the game unique and desireable? I'm cutting down the prep time by running my own adventures, over and over. There is demand for these adventures as they're part of the D&D Adventurers League offical adventures. All of those adventures are effectively one shots and I run 1 of 2 adventures 6 times a month. I'm also running campaign style Tales from the Yawning Portal adventures twice a month and about to start a custom D&D 5e Dark Sun campaign once a month that will hopefully pick up to twice a month after a while. I'm doing all of this via Patreon. I'm not sure if it's the best system to do it, but it's working for now. EDIT: All of my games are online, using Fantasy Grounds. Before I started the Patreon I put a few digital posts in local groups looking for local players, but the player base online is enormous and much easier to find than local players, and I live in a big metro city (Denver). If you're interested in seeing my pledge structure and game details you can find them on [URL="http://www.patreon.com/RobertAdducci"]my Patreon page[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
