[QUOTE="Slit518, post: 8662215, member: 6803713"] I never knew folks paid to play D&D until several years ago when I friend told me about it. He said in some instances some folks will pay up to $600 per game. The only way I would see folks seeking a "[I]professional[/I]" DM is because of a few reasons: [LIST=1] [*]They don't know anyone else whom plays and this is the easiest way for them to find someone who runs a game and players willing to play. [*]Less likely to miss a date if you're paying. [*]Probably less schenanagins at the table and more focus on gameplay, perhaps even role playing. [*]The DM I assume has more resources, such as terrain, minis, perhaps a place to host, and even provides the character sheets, pencils, dice, and even extra books. [*]Setting the atmosphere, such as music, lighting, sound effects, etc. [/LIST] I am still not sure how the whole "[I]professional[/I]" DM thing works, but I assume they either charge per player for X hours, or charge per group $Y for Z hours and the more folks in the group the less each member pays with a minimum amount of members to a maximum amount of members.
