(If you wish to view it as such, "payment for services rendered".)"Would you be willing to run this world I find interesting, since I ran that campaign you wanted last year?" (Tit-for-tat in the other direction, "I already did a thing for you".)"I know you mentioned you've been feeling a little burned out with D&D, especially with the recent rule changes. I recently bought Energized with a Cataclysm, it's a pretty simple system, would you be willing to run that?" (Proposing as a palate-cleanser.)"I know you're skeptical about Orientalist tropes, but I've been hankering for some cool samurai action. Would you consider running Ryu & Ronin? It was made with loving attention to authentic Japanese history!" (Recognizing limitations, and specifically looking to address them, not override them.)You can come up with a nigh-infinite variety of terms, all of which actually do respect the personal interests and preferences of the other person.
