I almost exclusively DM - real life has greatly reduced my free time, and almost all the players/DMs I know would rather play in my games than run one. Still, I manage to squeeze some play time in every few years.When I'm a player, I try to bring food and play-tools (like a PC cheat sheet for how turning works for a player whose memory is scrambled) both to contribute to the overall fun and to show my appreciation of the DM's and other players' efforts. I also make sure to thank the DM and our host (if they're not the same person) before I leave. I try to make the DM feel appreciated for all the extra work in the way I'd like to feel appreciated.If I have one criticism of my current group of players it's that I have to wait until 2-3 days after the session before I'll hear anything good or bad about it. And by then, I'm already halfway through planning the next one :/.</blockquote>
