If you do, it can make you a "better" DM and player, but not necessarily make you a "good" DM or player - it depends on where you start off.I'm also a DM and don't get much chance to play - one of the big reasons is because my group gets together once a week or fortnight, and trying to run separate campaigns where I DM one and participate in another is, logistically speaking, very hard - especially when we sometimes have people who can't make a particular session.I appreciate the situation and I'm okay with it - my only slight regret is that I won't get to try out and develop some of my own cool character concepts - I end up with a couple of 1st or 2nd level PCs who will probably never get much further, unless we have something radical happen in my group.But again, that's okay - I'm still enjoying myself as DM and scaring my players every now again with some very cool NPC (like Lareth the Not-so-beautiful anymore - but that should really go into a campaign log somewhere <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
