[QUOTE="BookTenTiger, post: 8062376, member: 6685541"] (This is a complementary post to another I just created about how your hobbies or job impact your D&D.) I have been playing D&D for over 20 years now, and I swear it's effected every job I've ever worked. Early on in my first jobs doing filing and data input, I was so bored that I came up with my greatest D&D ideas! However, D&D helped me realized that I enjoyed creative challenges and needed a creative job. I'll fast forward to my current career: I am a 3rd Grade teacher (going into my 9th year!). I think being a DM for 20 years has absolutely made me a better teacher. First off, I know that no matter how much I plan for the day's lesson, the students are going to take things in a totally different direction. Secondly, I know that transparent systems help students feel confident! If I am transparent with my players about a new house rule, then I get more buy-in. I also have to be transparent with my students about the rules of the classroom, the steps of a new process, etc. And finally, basic game design knowledge has really come in use in the classroom! I've created little mini-RPG's to help students borrow the perspective of a family traveling by covered wagon across the country, to play through the life cycles of mule deer... I've had students create their own shops to sell geometric figures... and I've taught California History through the construction of board games. So how has D&D helped you in your jobs, or just in your life? [/QUOTE]
