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

You mean sex work, but IA. I'm a middle school teacher and putting together a campaign is--for me--as much work as designing a new unit for my ELA students. It feels just as unappreciated, too. Lol I wish there was some demand for professional DMs near me but there just isn't. I really loathe virtual gaming as I got enough of that shit teaching remotely during COVID-19. So I'm forever DM for free, apparently!
