[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 8238033, member: 6696971"] Really great post but especially this last bit. My contribution to these threads are to try to deconstruct and demystify what is happening under the hood in all forms of play in order to encourage people to not only play all sorts of games, but TO GM THEM. TTRPG culture would be so much better off if (a) everyone had more diversity of experience and (b) the player base has significantly more confidence because they’ve all been GMs. When I GM for people who have a history of GMing, the creative energy of play and excitement is NOTICABLY more palpable. In part that is because of endogenous features inherent to people who typically GM. But a part of that is exogenous; environment sharpening them in key ways (that, frankly, makes them more desirable players for me). Anything that makes GMing less daunting and more transparent = yes, please. Anything that does the opposite = no thanks. [/QUOTE]
