Not really! I love being a DM. But then unlike my two friends I wasn’t the regular DM weekly for 12 years. So there’s that.

For forever DMs out there. Do you ever get to play?

Do you take regular breaks?

How does DMing work for you?

And thanks. I see you.

🙏❤️

I'd like to be the blue dude. I want to try running a little campaign, but my group has 2 very good GMs and I'm generally nervous and not good at talking. I've considered maybe running something online with some vague online friends to learn how, but our GMs are my roommates and I'm sure they would hear me playing with strangers and ask why and/or insist that our own group won't judge me. Which they wouldn't, but that doesn't mean I want to look like a fuck up in front of them in comparison to the standard of GMing theyre used to sadness

Maybe just try running something for you two DMs then! I'd bet that they'd be happy to help nurture another DM's growth. Speaking anecdotally about my own experience with mentoring other DMs I've never felt that they're fuckups, but rather just felt great joy at seeing them grow.
