[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9820142, member: 23751"] Weeeeelll, I live in the pothole capitol of the world, so I see those aplenty. Lots of experience with potholes. And it gets pretty foggy here a few times a year, so I'm not unexperienced with fog, but also not the best with it. Do truck driving schools have fog machines that cover a large enough area to establish high skill with fog? Also, the infrequency of rain here actually makes our roads MORE dangerous when it rains, because the oil and other things rise up out of the cement/asphalt to make the roads more slippery than in places where it rains more often. When it rains here I generally pass several accidents every rainy day. Right. So long as I stay in D&D, I'm an amazing DM. ;) Actually, I have run multiple systems and read many more. My position is based on the amazing DMs I have played with who never ran anything other than D&D. I know that it's possible to be every bit as good as someone who has run/read multiple RPG systems. This is where you run into trouble. There's nothing objective to back up this opinion. It's possible that for it to be more likely that you'll be a good DM if you have experience with multiple systems, but there's no objective "You will be better than a single system DM." involved. One way to get better. There isn't one true way. [/QUOTE]
