If people want to pay to play or DM for cash, go for it.But for me one of the best parts of the hobby over the decades has been all the wonderfully weird and odd people  I've met, a bunch of who I still play with. Many of them are bad players or DMs in a professional sense, but incredibly funny and interesting people to hang with around the table.So for me the one big negative aspect of normalizing roleplaying as a paid for activity is if it means DMs - and players - are expected to live up to some streamlined professional market standard. Perhaps it has already come to that with streaming big shows and the Mercer effect, but please leave room for non-commercialized gaming with og nerds and geeks.</blockquote>
