“Dude, suckin’ at something is the first step to being sorta good at something!”
I don’t think I’m a very good DM, but all of my players ask me for DM tips when they’re doing another game or one-shotting or whatever, so maybe?
We are our harshest critics. Trust your friends.
Most people just want to be able to roll dice and have fun with friends. Some will also enjoy the roleplaying. As a DM you just need to show up and have some resemblance of a plan or willingness to let them go off the rails and make shit up. That’s all that a “good” DM is.
And if anyone ever expects you to be matt fucking Mercer then tell they better be sam riegel or gtfo.
Asking a question, then immediately leaving… Who the hell starts a conversation like that!?
Hahahaha I didn’t even notice that the other guy just takes off
If you where dumb enough to try. Willing to keep going. and put up with our BS, you are favorite DM.
In answer to the question posed by the title, a high maintenance party.
You’re only as good a DM as that last session.
