[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8477827, member: 177"] It was specifically rhetorical. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I used to be a Boy Scout. In the Scouts, one of the major teachings was the value of doing things not for yourself, but for others. We did a lot of service projects, for which we had to raise the money and work without pay to give something back to our communities. Folks who stuck with the Scouts found out how darned good it feels to do that. Being a fan of your players is this, writ small for your gaming group. Each session is a little service project - something we do for the players because we want to make their lives that little bit better. We are on board with doing a bit of work for them to make it happen. It is about finding the biggest enjoyment in GMing from how entertained the players are at the end of the session. When your success, enjoyment, and fulfillment is focused on others, rather than yourself, you can find that you have a lot of breadth in what you can do to achieve that, because the how isn't the important part - you become [I]results oriented[/I].
