[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 6552823, member: 51747"] When I was a teenager, I didn't need adventures because I had lots of time and no money. Heck, back then I scoffed at adventures and those that used them. I made my own campaign setting and I spent hours every week working on it. In college, I had a little more money and less time. So I used the existing campaign setting and expanded on it in my own time. But still I made my own adventures, thinking that those that couldn't make their own adventures were "lesser" GMs. 10 years ago as a single man devoted to his career, I still expanded on the published campaign setting and still refused to use adventures, but I had to run a good number of games with not much preparation. Today, well, if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't sleep tonight and went to the computer I would have spent a solid weekend without doing anything game related, except maybe a forum post or two. I sent the weekend in a movie marathon with the GF (both Bridget Jones' movies and several other similar movies, in case you were wondering). Last weekend was my weekend with my daughter. So I didn't do anything gaming related last weekend either. (And yes, 'gaming related' includes my company). Today I GM from a module, even if I have to publish it myself. So 'Lazy' you ask? No. If I am even slightly representative of GMs as we age, we are freaking busier than ever. [/QUOTE]
