I'll have to make these comments about my old group.Most of them were. One was not interested at all. Two ran games, but not D&D. Another guy was willing, but we wouldn't let him. We had one guy who dmed 50% of the time. Myself and another player DM alternately on the main DM's off times, staving off burn out for all three of us.We had one player we banned from DMing after a two week stint he had (2 games per week) back in college. He seemed to take unnatural enjoyment from describing exactly what the enemies did to our PCs' barely dead corpses after they had killed the PCs (which they inevitably did). Not a pretty picture.Toward the end of my time with that group, we relented and allowed him to run one off tournament-style arena games (which were pretty fun).They can be, but generally no.I've never met anyone like that. One guy I knew never played in games and always DMed, but he certainly allowed others to DM. Probably a taste conflict.It's given me a better appreciation for teamwork, as well as for the effert a DM puts into their setting, so in my case- yes.I think so. It helps keep me in touch with what players want.</blockquote>
