First foray into paid DMing - 16 session in.

[Scott Christian]

That is a cool idea. I would try it as a player if it was in my city. I pay $25 to go golfing for 2 hours or go to the movies for 2 hours. When you bring your kid or someone, the cost starts to add up though.

Yes, the cost can definitely add up. But I can say this about that business, if run with fidelity (and it seems the guy who runs ours does), it is a great way to meet players. But again, you are right, if you are paying for yourself and a child, and then you get drinks and something to eat while out, it could add up quickly. I know that for me, I would have a few drinks, order food before or after the game, and shop a little after the game. All that made it $75 night.
