Message: <blockquote data-quote="Laurefindel" data-source="post: 7884561" data-attributes="member: 67296">As others say, depression, isolation, interpersonal conflicts are all important sources of DM fatigue.To add to that (and this is perhaps more personal), repetitive game cancelations (regardless of the legitimacy of the cancellation), unmotivated players, large player groups; all contribute to DM fatigue.For me DM fatigue also increases progressively with level progression above 7-8th level, and drastically after level 13-14th. I'm still struggling with high-level play. There are many solutions to the high-level "problems", but none match my play style as a DM. I can cope, I can adapt, I can find new ways to challenge the players, but it gets me out of my comfort zone which in turn induces DM fatigue.So keeping group small (3-player games are ideal), games regular but not too frequent (twice a month), and expecting the majority of the campaign between level 3rd and 10th (ending around level 13th) help me keep DM fatigue low.</blockquote>
