[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9817526, member: 29398"] Learning experience, after a certain point, is no longer the point. Familiarity and comfort is. A DM who has run 1000 sessions of D&D (let's get specific here and say it was all 5e 2014, run stock) might not have learned much more than the DM who has run but 100 sessions but is for sure going to be more familiar and comfortable with the system. Further, the 1000-session DM will almost certainly have memorized some of the obscure rules, rulings, and interactions that the 100-session DM still has to look up, thus making the game run just that little bit smoother. There's also the question of frequency of repetition leading to better retention. If both DMs have been running for 10 years, the 100-session guy is only rocking 10 sessions a year on average while the 1000-session gal is on 100 sessions a year; meaning she's getting more frequent reinforcement of the knowledge she already has.
