But the number one job is to make sure the players, AND the DM are having fun. If it's not fun the do something else. I've played in a campaign were the everybody except the DM was having fun. It got so bad he left and hasn't been seen since. A real shame as he was a great DM and an even better friend. On the other end of the spectrum I've DMed and had DM's that were in total love with their non linear open ended campaign so much it sort of fell apart. I don't like to be led around by the nose, but I don't want so many options handed to me that I can never actually finish one. As for me when I DM. I try to keep things fun for everybody. I listen to my players when they complain. Sometimes I favor the role players to much, sometimes my Hack and slashers. But if one side is feeling left out, then just add in a few ncounter to compensate. DMing is a balancing act in my few, keeping everybody happy, including youself. Enough running on at the mouth.
