[QUOTE="Pants, post: 2026319, member: 8849"] 5 players, 5 potential DM's. :confused: Everyone wanted to DM, but we decided upon several things: 1) Only 2 of us were really any good (not really a group consensus, but I've only had fun in one other campaign and... I'm arrogant sometimes :p ), 2) Several of the potential DM's run games that start strong, but then die REALLY quickly, this leads to lots of old character sheets (my Half-Orc Fighter, Rivvell will never be played... :( ), and lastly 3) With so many DM's, the campaigns will never get anywhere. That last one was the clincher. We decided to cut down to an average of 2 DM's. Every once in a while (when the defaults are feeling burned out or in non-DM mode), someone else could run for a night or two. Since the others tend to run veritable one-shots anyways, this doesn't pose much of a problem. As of right now, the Eberron game is running fairly smoothly and every once in a while, I coerce the other DM into running his campaign (which I very much enjoy!). He always seems apprehensive, but he does such a good job... [/QUOTE]
