[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9612705, member: 6684958"] I call the world Earth. They are just people: fallible humans. What they write is nice, and I might like some of it. But I feel not even the slightest urge to follow everything they print in a book. Well, in a general sense, I don't care what anyone thinks. It is a generally good way to live life. Well, I disagree with a lot of people. I'm not the type that follows "fads" or "trends" or "what is popular". And I sure don't look at a whole group of people who all think only one thing and have a desire to join them and become "one of them". The above is very possible, as I do it. And so do a lot of other DMs. One type of DM won't, or can't put much effort into the game beyond just playing it. Much like say a board game. This type of DM, the player DM, wants to be just like the typical player. And that is putting very little effort, often none, into the game. Even more so outside of the game play. The casual player and player-DM just wants to show up, play the game for a couple hours and have a fun time. This DM does not make up much. The other type of DM puts a lot of effort into the game. Often many, many, many hours per week every week. Nothing like any other type of game. This type of DM is far beyond and apart of the typical player. While the typical player just makes a character and shows up to the game ready to play, this DM does tons and tons of work outside the game. This DM makes up tons and tons and tons of content. And the big difference too is one DM does nothing and the other writes an adventure. [/QUOTE]
