John does level 1, Judy level 2, etc. You handle transitions between each level (or put in your own level or mini-level). Likewise, you could have this bit of land is John's 'world', this other Julie's, etc.That said, I apparently suffered from momentary (usually permanent) stupidity because I thought the title was asking "Does DMing make you a better player?" as in "should a DM play every once in a whle?" I've solely DM'd almost straight since 1988. Recently, I joined as a player in a group which had been together for a while. What I discovered is that I didn't know how to play anymore!Sure I vaguely knew this feat or that power, but if it didn't really apply to my monsters I never really bothered to learn it (unless a usage of it sounded hinky). Since playing again, I am now more aware of the capabilities of the other players which means I can make it more interesting and more challenging.</blockquote>
