[QUOTE="KYRON45, post: 9426217, member: 6994040"] I enjoy the misery of trying to get it right. I really like arguing with pedantic players who are sure they could do a better job but never seem to offer. I love that one player that has to ignore all of the limits i put on the campaign. I never get tired of optimizers and rules lawyers who only seem to know the parts of rules that make them feel superior yet ignore any of the limits those rules might impose. I absolutely love the stress of scheduling a group of people who constantly tell me they have no life and nothing else going on. Whenever I'm watching a movie or TV (or whatever were calling streaming shows) i always think to myself....that's not quite how I would have done that scene. I love trying to plot out story arcs based on what i think the players will do...and then adjusting to the chaos of player decision making. I love when that one player who usually just enjoys being a bystander most of the time does or says something that makes me wonder where he hides his victims. I enjoy being blown away when the player at the table who engages with the rules the least comes up with some obscure attack combo that ends up doing more damage than the rest of the party combined. What i really enjoy is creating stories that other people then enjoy enough to interact with. With any luck I enjoy knowing that for those few hours I've created a fun, safe environment for people to get together and laugh. [/QUOTE]
