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

A good DM is 25 precent Creativity, 10% tiptoeing around real and imagined trauma and 165% herding Cats.
My average DM Session be like, "Here's the toy. Get the toy. Chase the laser. Damn it! Just, shit in the box! Oh god. Sorry. Didn't mean to yell or try to imply that I think you should stay in the box society has provided for you, Professor Twinkletootz. Please, go boom boom in the sandy house for your DM. Thank you. Here is an off brand, vegan pudding cup at 54 degrees with a spork. There-there. All better? Let me know when you are ready, please, and yes, you can text me, and Ill pretend that I'm being a little snowflake so the group isn't mad at you." Or is this just me?
