30 hours DMing in 4 days!

[Duncan Haldane]

Well, I'm a bit washed out after a long weekend here.
On Friday night I ran a single session Living Greyhawk (LG) game that took about 5 hours to complete.
Saturday I attended our local monthly games day, where I DMed two 4-hour LG games.
Sunday I ran my regular Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil campaign, which was for about 6 hours.
And yesterday I ran a two session LG game which completed a story arc of five modules. It was twelve hours from start to finish (with a meal break in the middle), including one battle which took TWO HOURS to run. Almost a TPK too.

I'm almost glad to be back at work so I can have rest *grin*

My 30 hours of DMing in a weekend is 4 days away - 1st Monday in May is a public holiday and that weekend is our annual gaming convention.

I generally find 30 hours of DMing to be less tiring than 30 hours of playing, actually - at least for convention gaming. The mental gear changes needed to play 8-10 different PCs in 3 days is harder than running the same two games over and over.

Sounds like a fun but tiring weekend. Been a long time since I did anything like that. I did a 24 hour straight session(with one player and the same character), which included a meal break or two, but was pretty straight. That was a doozy.

The problem was, was that it was all coming from the top of my head so I was having to come up with idea after idea...After that I pretty much killed my creativity for a month or so. I swore I would NEVER do that again.

But cheers for a fun gaming weekend.
