I tried being a player a while back and honestly it wasn't holding my attention as much as it normally does when I'm running the game. The main thing that was going on in the back of my mind the whole time was, what can I do to that the DM won't expect or be prepared for? That's great when you're presenting an adventure, but isn't the best for functioning in a group and helping the adventure to move along.I think it comes down to the ability to be more creative as a DM. I've had players that have tried their hand at DM'ing and people were in a hurry to switch back to me in some cases. I think there's really two different modes of play and some people are noticeably better at one mode than another.</blockquote>
