The thing looks pretty ferocious in that first picture. Probably why most places don’t let people domesticate wild animals. Still, it’s so cuuuute.
I’ll never stop playing…
But I might quit my role as Dungeon Master. If this keeps coming up as a consideration of mine, then I’ll probably just do it. I just don’t think I’m cut out to be Dungeon Master of an ongoing campaign. Even though the pacing in the storyline is top notch (not that we’ve started it just yet), and there are surprises around every corner…I just don’t feel like I’m cut out for this.
It just feels like people don’t care. Their anger with the game, and me, makes me feel like I’m doing a bad job…so why do the job at all? I’ll just write fantasy stories instead, and keep them to myself…I guess. At least if I follow that path, I can actually embrace that passion of mine.
Man, someone has to be a DM. If the players aren’t appreciating your good work, consider the following:
- Is your campaign style tailored to your players? If your campaign is rather more based on collecting information to find out where we need to go, and all of the players just want to kill things, then they’re likely to be bored or irritated.
- Are your players just pushing their boundaries for fun? Sometimes players like to just stir shit up. Try hitting them with the Rules Hammer a few times and seeing if they’ll straighten up.
If D&D is your creative outlet, don’t let some people ruin it. If all else fails, if they really don’t appreciate your game mastery, maybe find a new batch of players. Some people just don’t deserve the best of DMs.
