First time in a month my Friday night D & D group is playing. I’m DM’ing a homebrew campaign I created on various adventures I’ve played over the last 48 years.
Had to go through my notes today and adjust a few things.
Why the hiatus? We’re all adults with lives of our own.
Our biweekly game that I DM became monthly and then just sort of stopped last year. It felt like folks had other priorities and I took it a bit harder than I should’ve. It’s crazy how much time and thought you can put into a homebrew campaign that centers players’ stories
I’ve been with this group for 7 years, will be 8 in January.
This is only the second time I’ve DM’D. Not because I don’t want to, we have a person dedicated to the role and he’s pretty good. I’m doing this to give him a break and give the other players, who are all much younger, a look at what old school AD&D was like while playing modern rules.
Also, I’ve never considered myself a very good DM.
I quit a campaign earlier this year that I ran for 4 years. Just got burnt out, and some of the newer players were rude people who didn’t appreciate it.
I’m a forever DM because I love DMing. I’m also a systems addict which I’ve found to be very contrary to most ttrpg players. We’re out there you just gotta find the right peeps.

Plus no one ever wants to DM. :D

You’re probably pretty good! If you’re looking for some guides and perspective, check out matt colville’s running the game series on youtube

I love DMing! I get to drive story, I can be any class, I can strategize, and I get to use creativity. It’s a fun time!
