Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 5120632" data-attributes="member: 18701">I strive to be the best DM I can be. I really do listen to people and take criticism to heart. I enjoy doing all the things online that you listed.But, I understand that "being good" depends on the players you have. Players from one group will say that their DM is really good, the best even. And other players will say that same DM is the worst DM they've ever had. So it's hard for me to tell if I am really good or not. All I know is that I have a group of players that still show up to play every other week. So I assume I'm doing pretty good. I'd like to think I'm a really good DM. I know I do things that don't sit well with a lot of players (no magic item shops, no childish PC names, slower character leveling, micromanaging magic items in treasure), but the kind of players I want to DM would be the kind that can overlook those issues and still find it worth playing because I run a really good game. I also don't make a lot of the mistakes that a lot of bad DMs make (DMPCs, DM vs player attitude, railroading, etc).And in all honesty, any of my past players that would say I'm a bad DM would not be people that I would be sorry to hear that from. The funny thing is, they don't realize how crappy they are at being players <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
