[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1080616, member: 4144"] I was a burned-out DM, and here's two things I've done to help myself. [b]Change things up.[/b] This is the biggest, I think. Try some new types of campaigns, and start them as PbPs if you have to. You'll probably get better players that way. Another thing, I've replaced magic with psionics in my homebrew for the most part, and upgraded it to steam-level tech. To help me out with that, I'm replaying Arcanum. I've also begun another ambition, starting a PDF company (which may or may not materialize; I'm starting the very outside edges of writing stuff). [b]Immerse yourself in things you love.[/b] Right now, I'm immersing myself in Three Kingdoms, in all manifestations - the book, Dynasty Warriors, and now Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8. Anything (particularly history, in my case, anyway) that would bring back that "wow" factor. Things that make you say 'If only my character could do that...' All these things are really getting the juices flowing again. Don't know if it's a help, but it's what worked for me. [/QUOTE]
