[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4805649, member: 18280"] I have been both. I really enjoy playing, but I have a hard time getting someone else to DM. Throughout my gaming career, the following has happened all too often. a. I find a game to join. I get to play for a month or two. Or three. b. DM wants to take a break. c. Possibly someone else DMs something. Eventually that person wants a break. c. Eventually I get asked if I can run something. d. I run something. e. The group wants me to continue running the game. f. I do so until circumstances (moving, work, home life) prevents me from doing so. g. Those people continue to check periodically, so long as I am in the area, if I can/will run something for them. I spent four years in the US Army, and as a result I have played in many states, and I now live in Canada. Regardless of having played with literally hundreds of players and under dozens of DMs, never have I seen any evidence that my general opinion on this is wrong. YMMV. I've done both. Family. Friends. Close friends. Players I've only met through D&D. RC [/QUOTE]
