Are you a DM/GM, player or both?

[Thurbane]

Hi all,

It's been indicated that the Enworld forums have a higher DM to player ratio as posters than some other forums.

Just wondering if there was any truth to this, so just a simple poll.

I'm only in two games at the moment. A homoebrew I Gm and an Eberron game where I am a player. So, I voted evenly.

 

[Duo Maxwell]

I'm usually the DM for the majority of the games we play. However, I do participate in a d20 Star Wars game as a player, with one of my regulars as the GM. It would be great if things were done evenly. I'd love for someone to run a Shadowrun 4th edition game or Traveller with me as a participant, and not the storyteller.

Depends on the Group

I used to DM almost exclusively. Recently however, I have joined a group that has several DMs, so I mostly play now. It is a nice change. I voted mainly player but DM sometimes as that is my current situation.

 

[Dog Moon]

I'm both, though I do prefer to play. However, I'm frequently one of the DMs in the group because myself, along with another person, can't stand to solely DM for a long time. In my group, there aren't any people who are DM and not player.

 

[Kularian]

In my group (there's five of us that are tight-knit), I am the unofficial 'best' DM. All but one of us have the ability to, but each of them has quirks that at least one player doesn't get along with.

I prefer to play, just because I've DM'd for so long. I'm trying to work on a 'Mercenary' type game where we rotate DM's every session, and when it's your turn, you come up with a job for the other four players to go on. We'll see how that works...

 

[Jolly Giant]

I've been playing with the same group since 3.0 came out, and I've probably been the DM for more than 90% of the time. I wish I could get to be a player more of the time, though, since I enjoy both experiences very much.

 

[tonse]

Voted "DM only". Tonse fears losing control. Must not happen! Tonse not good trusting others...

 

[Kae'Yoss]

I voted 50/50, because that's how my play time is spent right now (2 campaigns, DM in one), but I think I'm a player at heart. I run that campaign because the old DM had to stop (goint to the University), and I do like running it, but I like playing more.

 

[Tsillanabor]

I mostly DM, but enjoy playing. Whenever I can train one of my players (all noobs) to DM, we'll switch off.
