[QUOTE="Misanthrope Prime, post: 9814892, member: 6776166"] Art isn't hard. All you have to do is write "R. Mutt" on a urinal and submit it to a gallery. EZPZ. What I will say is that "DMing" is a multi-disciplinary skillset, and you need at least a moderate degree of competency in a [I]lot[B] [/B][/I]of fields, fields that most people don't normally accrue skills in. Perhaps you have lived a life that let you gain all those skills, I actually did and feel DMing comes easy to me too, but I have also watched literal award winning artists and people with PhDs struggle with the basic parts of running an adventure. When I was in my 20s I was about to leave on an internship to work on an MMORPG. To connect with my mother, I tried to teach her how to play the game so we could hang out virtually. My mother, in her 50s at the time, could not figure out how to simultaneously move the camera and her character at the same time; something so basic to anyone who's played a 3D video game since the N64 came out. Moving your character isn't hard... but if you're a 50 year old woman whose last video game was Zork, even something "easy" is far out of your wheelhouse. [/QUOTE]
