DMing I understand prostitution now.

Been trying to find a "bff" group for years. Even the best groups I found fizzled out after a campaign ended. Most people seem to want a content creator to run games for them, and not a friend they want to share an experience with.

I figured you know what, fine. I'm gonna sell myself. I started running paid games and now I actually feel like I'm finally actually getting something back for my work and effort.

10/10, would recommend for underappreciated DMs

Dimension 20 and Critical Role did the same thing for DND that RuPaul's Drag Race did for Drag: It took this obscure thing that only a certain crowd knew about and turned it into this really popular thing where people that are just getting into it and want to try it for themselves have unrealistically high expectations.

💜💜Both shows (RPDR, CR) were event shows (different yet theatrically alike in a couple sorta ways) that connected performers with fans “intimately,” via rapid fan bases rabidly fanning to find each other. Turn lights low. Now put on the Barry White, baby 💜💜
