A single character to keep track of just isn't enough, and I've met few DMs who are skilled enough to really immerse me and hold my interest.But let me DM and I come alive. I love building a world, creating NPCs, devising set-piece battles, concocting conspiracies, writing mythology, rolling up and modifying treasures, rewriting adventure modules, and then setting it in front of players. If they aren't going "whoa!" - I've failed. For me, inspiring, challenging, frustrating and ultimately satisfying the players IS the game. I concoct an elaborate machine, and make myself the ghost within it, watching what happens. Some DMs hate it when things go off the rails - I WANT things to go off the rails in ways I'd never imagine. If my glorious machine isn't a wreck by the end of the night, leaving all of us panting in the afterglow of hard fought battles, painful conflicts, epic rewards and horrifying plot destruction... it's a bit of a disappointment.But it's been over a decade since I've run a campaign. Life just got in the way. I got out of college, and moved across the country, and then across the planet. I changed entire careers multiple times. I earned advanced degrees. I got married and had a child. I remained a gamer, but my gaming moved on from RPGs... I did tournament MTG for awhile, and tried to qualify for the pro tour. Then for years I had weekly board game sessions. But after marriage, and moving back to the states, those drifted from weekly to every other month or so. And then, after my most recent relocation... to nothing at all.I'm jonesing for a game.So... if you've got a group of 4-8 mature (over 30, though younger are welcome if vouched for) players in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area who could use a DM, I'm your man. I'd love to start a twice a month campaign again. Hit me up if you're down for it.</blockquote>
