[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2606674, member: 19675"] OK...THIS is something I'm going through at this moment. My creative energies as a GM, at least as far as [I]traditional fantasy[/I] RPGs go, are pretty much drained at this time. As a result, I haven't run an adventure in nearly a year. (If I could convince my group to play modern fantasy or superheroes or western, I'd be fine...THOSE I have ideas for.) Instead, the time I spent designing campains in previous years is right now being channeled into reading more books and doing more jewelry design (another hobby of mine). However, I [I]do[/I] have a few pages of notes for fantasy campaign ideas- just not enough to do anything long term and coherent. What am I saying? Take time off from behind the screen. Let yourself recharge: Read more, and from unusual sources- I've been enjoying a subscription to [I][URL=http://www.sfsite.com/fsf/]Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine[/URL],[/I] and its exposed me to many authors I've never heard of before, like Albert E. Cowdrey (whose New Orleans based Azalea Place stories are excellent modern fantasy). Run with the bulls in Pamplona. (That is, go jogging with the Chicago Bulls...) etc. You may find you never need to DM again. On the other hand, you might find that spark of inspiration. But whatever you do, DON'T FORCE IT!
