[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 562160, member: 11"] I just am. I don't think I am a [I]bad[/I] player - but I think I grow impatient with a character and often have to fight with myself to stay in-character. I think I am less patient with other players when [I]I[/I] am a player. I think I am more easily distracted when I am a player. I find it easier to juggle a dozen plot elements and NPC motivations than to develop one character over time. I find it easier to do several different NPC "voices" than have a consistant character voice. I find it easier to keep notes about what is going on in the campaign as DM, than as player. As a player, I sometimes forget my books, my dice or even my character sheet - but as DM I hardly ever forget any important books, notes, maps or minis. Why the discrepency? I am not sure. However, I have found the qualities that make me a decent player were cultivated from years of DMing, i.e. - not second-guessing the DM at the table, being on time, being quiet when it another player's turn to be in the spotlight, listening carefully to descriptions so the DM doesn't have to repeat himself, etc. . . So, how do others compare their player vs. DMing skills/abiltiies? [/QUOTE]
