You seem to have some very strong ideas about this hobby and to take it very seriously and also you clearly do not appear to be having any fun. This is supposed to be fun and if you are not having fun then perhaps stop and take a break.Now to your questions:1. Players; boy that is a lot of questions. a lot of these questions are not really your responsibility. Are they engaged? if you do not know the answer then does it really matter to you, why should it? If it is bothering you why are you running a game for these people? You are not a dancing monkey and have no obligation to entertain anyone. Are the players complaining? or you holding you and your table to some mythical standard?And mostly importantly are you having fun?2: Systems do not really matter if you do not enjoy the game. No system will make the game fun if you are burned out and any system can be fun if you are having fun and are engaged. There is no perfect system.3: the larger community; why do you care about the opinion of strangers on the internet? As for corporates, they are human collectives and their flaws are reflective of the society that spawns them. To change that one need to change the society and its value system, and I will not say more than that on this forum. Except to add I think it is ok to buy the stuff you like and think you will use and are under no obligation to provide anyone with a paycheck. 4. Work. it is not a job, you are not being paid (unless you are) How much prep do you really need? Why do you have "wasted" prep? Why can you not recycle the "wasted " prep as building blocks to other things? Have you read the Lazy DM books? I really wonder, are you chasing a phantom and idea of the perfect session that cannot be achieved? My advice, take a break, run the system you enjoy. If your players do not like it tell them that you do not like the other system but would be happy to play a game of that if they run it. If that is unacceptable to them then they are free to go elsewhere.</blockquote>
