This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Playing...a poor substitution for GMing

Quote from: Tyberious FunkWell, you might think I'm crazy, but gaol-bait isn't really my style.  Besides, I don't think Mrs Funk would approve.
1) Admiring the scenery is ok as long as you don't play on the grass.
2) 18 be legal! I wasn't suggesting cruising Jr. High or something. :p Perv.
3) You can run into some fairly mature, yet childlike 20ish people at universities

Quote from: pspahnHeh, heh.  I'll state the obvious, then.  Publish them.

Well, as you know, I've tried my hand at a little bit of fan publishing.  It's not as satisfying as I thought it would be, probably because it's a lot of work for a relatively little bit of credit/appreciation/recognition.  That, and I'm probably not good enough to enter the professional ring yet (or not professional enough to enter the professional ring ;)).

Another thing is that some of the ideas are those that are really hard to get down in an organized pattern on paper.  They are a ton of little ideas floating around in my head just waiting for the players to trigger them...or lead me in different directions I wasn't even planning for.  It's frustrating to have a great idea you can't immediately play...and are having problems writing down.  I'm always afraid some of these ideas are going to get lost forever.

As a GM I find myself wanting to play. As a Player I find myself wanting to GM. There has to be a balance somehow. The best is with multipul GMs.
