[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 4966415, member: 63962"] My current group of about 9 people have 4 GM's. I am only running DnD stuff, started with AD&D 2nd edition, went over to 3rd edition, 3.5 and now 4e. One DM who has run assorted campaigns but currently he is running a Dragonlance campaign in 3.5. We have played the campaing for 3-4 years(!) now and are level 17! One DM runs Call of Cthulu and has run a few (rather large) modules One DM who has run some shadowrun, warhammer and is currently running a 4e campaign The interesting part is how some people are GREAT DM's but not as much when they are players. This goes for our Dragonlance-DM. Our shadowrun DM is a much better player than DM. Maybe because he don't get to play when he DM's? p The player-lineup and dynamics change with who is DM-ing and not. Currently I have limited myself to doing a hack-and-slash campaign in 4e on tuesdays from 1900-2300 in the evening. It's fast paced, variable amount of RP and lots of fighting. I have learned a lot about how to make interesting encounters*. I am contemplating running a proper campaign without the premade modules. Should be easier for me to get some RP going then. Instead of referencing the module and using time learning it, I can create the stuff myself instead. Better end result, not necessarily much more time needed... *) Gotta do a thread on how to make interesting encounters for 4e. It is obvious in a way, but on the other hand - only after you have some experience. [/QUOTE]
