However I will usually offer to help the DM out with any non-secret stuff if I can (as DM'ing can be a lot of work at times - so it's nice to at least make the offer), which sometimes means drawing a few maps and stuff <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
