[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 9573868, member: 6921294"] I was being facetious, to an extent, but this isn't a knock on anyone person or group in particular, but I have found that post 2019, communication skills have been at a low, but it's understandable considering the state of affairs in the last 5 years. I used to work in engineering and mechanical design, and I had some really hard days pouring over pages and pages of agency and government specs and was physically exhausted at the end of the day. I've done manual labor and often said that it's a pretty mindless task at times, and that desk jobs where you're thinking 80% of the day are harder, just my opinion. But more exhausting were those game days where I spent 6 hours prepping beforehand and then running the game for 4-8 people for 4-6 hours and I felt like I was run over by a truck when it was done. I needed a beer, shot and a bowl immediately. So yes, DM communication is a very important ability. [/QUOTE]
