If you DM because you have fun doing it (and I'd encourage those not having fun to stop. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> ), then it doesn't matter how much work or not work you put into your campaign, as long as it's fun. You can spend hours a day working up complex mechanisms, or you can think about it for thirty seconds at the game table and as long as eveyrone keeps enjoying themselves, it doesn't matter. Furthermore, working that extra bit doesn't give the DM any special right to inflict his desires on everyone regardless of what they desire. Working that extra bit is a choice, not a chore, and so I don't think that choosing to do something that I have fun doing entitles me to be able to rank my fun as higher than anyone else's. Good DM's need good players to be good DM's. The best DM in the world won't run a good game if it's filled with selfish players. The best group of players in the world may suffer under a selfish DM (and then stop involving themselves in the hobby at all because of it). Good DM's also need advice, flexibility, and natural leadership qualities, but that's not really here or there.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /></blockquote>
