[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2653623, member: 158"] There was on one website about five years ago, an exhaustive list of activities that would improve your DMing as well as story-telling skills; unfortunately, I have long since lost this web site and its list. It contained things such as: --Go on a nature walk --Go horseback riding --Read certain specific books on Roman and Medieval military life And a host of other activities. If this sparks memories for anyone, I'd LOVE to both have a copy of that list and post it here, because it seemed to me a series of excellent suggestions for both becoming an excellent DM, and for regaining a lost creative spark. Other suggestions I'll let alone: reading your players and designing adventures for their emotional "kicks" to playing are well represented. I will add that another good idea is watching other DM's wherever possible; Not to critique them in front of people, but to look at what they do, at what tricks fall flat to a gaming table, what neat things they do that you never considered before, but go off well or seem like great ideas. Studying successful people's habits is something that is a good idea in D&D as well as in life. :) [/QUOTE]
