I actually have trouble sleeping once it's over!Preparing for the game I consider almost a separate hobby. It's very personal and independent, and what I do with my cup of coffee on a Saturday Morning instead of reading the news. Although a lot of my prep happens in my head on my bike ride to and from work as well!However, trying to prep a published adventure for me is actual hard work. I've always been terrible at homework (which is one reason I don't assign any mandatory homework as a teacher), and for some reason it's just a lot of hard work for me to sit down and read over published materials. It's way more fun and energizing to make up my own stuff!That said, for the DM whose game I play in, DMing is not an energy-back activity, and he will cancel if he's having a tough week. I can't blame him, but it makes me glad I'm running my own game once a week as well.</blockquote>
