Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 3063198" data-attributes="member: 18280">I don't know how much prep time the average EN Worlder puts into their game; I can say that I enjoy the prep as much as anything else.  And I do a lot of prep.  The biggest limitations to my prep time are family time and work.  I adore family time, so that isn't a problem, but the big upside of getting paid to DM would be that work time would be spent either in play or in prep.Right now I have a lot of people playing in my game, and a lot more who'd like to.  If I knew that I could get paid, consistently and well enough to pay the rent/bills/put food on my plate, I would gladly spend my days prepping games and running games.  If my games were enjoyable now, I can only imagine how much better they would be when DMing (including world building and NPC building) occupied an extra 40+ hours of my week.I certainly wouldn't feel bad about it, because the time spent gaming would be worth more than the average movie ticket....unless you guys are watching some movies I haven't seen.   <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" />Heck, I would be happy to supply the space.  Maybe under some form of monthly "membership fee" that allowed you to join in X number of scheduled games per week.  You would also gain access to a rpg library and table space for your own games (because, if I were doing this, I'd treat it like a gymn or a spa, and also sell miniatures, dice, and other supplies at a hefty discount).  And, like a gymn or spa, membership would have courtesy rules that all members would have to obey or have their membership suspended/revoked (with no refund).It would be absolutely mandatory that members signed an agreement that the DM was in charge of the game.  Although we strive for impartiality, we are not going to guarantee it (how could you prove it?), and character death is part of the game.  Anyhow, that's how I'd run it.  Now, are there enough players in the Toronto area ready to sign up?  I'd be happy to quit my day job......  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> RC</blockquote>
