[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2024893, member: 20741"] I only DM. I have not played any RPG seriously in about 18 years. There was a recent Dungoncraft article by Monte Cook in Dungone that observed that as the DM - when the session ends and people go home - the DM is the only one who continues to keep on playing. Monte was right. The DM is always thinking about and preparing the campaign for the next session(s) to come. If you love puttering about on the computer, making maps, designing encounters, dungeons or city settings, your own homebrew, new monsters or magic items, NPCs, story arcs... The list is endless. And its all of these things which I have come to enjoy the most. Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy actually DMing the session - but it's the [i]between[/i] session stuff where I get to work on my campaign that is the big pay off for me. Playing an RPG is more of an activity really. DMing a campaign world, otoh, is a hobby. [/QUOTE]
