I get to do far more of it as a DM than player. This includes everything from setting work like inventing gods and placing mountain ranges to figuring out what NPC's do and say next in response to my players batty actions at the table.Here are some recent... things I got to make up:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Recollection Wine, which is fermented from willing ghosts.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A seller of fine Recollection Wines named Earnest Gallows.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Mask of Cybelle -- which is a little like the Maltese Falcon, if the Maltese Falcon was imbued with the spirit of an ancient vampire queen and capable of possessing nearby heiresses.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cybelle the 3rd of Enkiil Isle herself, who is, well, was, like a cross between Stalin and the Buddha.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The homeless bard/bums of the Unseemly Court, including Lord Lack-A-Day and Lady Bumtussle.</li> </ul>Which isn't to say DM'ing doesn't sometimes feel like work, because it does. Though in my case that has more to do with the almost comically inefficient way I prepare. Oh well, at least I can make clever <s>shi</s> stuff up...</blockquote>
