[QUOTE="Psikosis, post: 7651256, member: 6704960"] I write interesting RPG stories to be edited, in whole or in part, by the PCs. For me, almost everything about GMing is fun. Developing a story and building a world (or in interpreting one, in some case) is the best part. Running the game, the PCs take the story and edit it according to their interests and abilities. Sometimes they hew close to what I've expected and sometimes the PCs (and/or the die rolls) simply don't cooperate and there's some on-the-spot rewriting. I read an interview with (I think it was) Madeline L'Engle and was really struck by her comments about how sometimes her characters don't seem to 'want' to do what she thinks they should and surprise her. Good players are like that. :cool: I've been very lucky to have had pretty good players over the years. Interested, engaged players make GMing look easy! Chris [/QUOTE]
