One thing I think we can all agree on is that nobody has perfected DMing and we can all find ways to improve.Mine:Strengths:I'm pretty good at world-building and connecting plot pieces to individual character stories. I put a lot of work into those aspects of planning, and try to conscientiously take player concepts into account, leaving them room to make the important decisions about their character's journey.I build great looking sets and am a generous host! We prioritize the social aspects of the gaming, and I think I do well at that.I'm firm but not confrontational. I'm open to being wrong.Aspirations:My role-playing is kinda meh. I really try, but I still have trouble staying in character, and my accents are atrocious. Sometimes inadvertently offensive.I sometimes lose track of plot elements, even though I write everything down. I get so invested in the moment that I can be inattentive to important details, so that I have to correct things later. I often forget or overlook tactical options for my creatures, making fights easier than they should be.I am way too chill about attendance, and I don't know why. If I commit to something, I commit, but I hate trying to be a hardass with my players, so that games fall through more than they should, and I've worked my butt off for nothing.</blockquote>
