[QUOTE="Orryn Emrys, post: 1023065, member: 6799"] I understand your consternation, Mr. Tea... though I've never personally run aground on the time and effort it takes to prepare a game. More specifically, I've been DMing for so long that it's all part of the plan, week in and week out. It's like a second job... only I get to pick the hours. The busier my life gets, the more I've got to be sure to leave myself time for game prep. It can be challenging... but very rewarding. In fact, another player in my regular group ran a few game sessions about a year ago, then gave up for the exact same reason. I think he'd be a top-notch game master, but he works a lot of hours and has a lot of extra-curricular activities... and a family... it was just too much. A pity, but I understand completely. If I hadn't made DMing such a big part of my life before I even got out of high school, I'd probably not have the outlook I do now. I really don't think I'd be able to enjoy [i]playing[/i] D&D every week if I wasn't refereeing at least one game.... I wouldn't know what to do with myself. :D [/QUOTE]
