how to become a GM

[Jwack]

Ha they are both as ignorant as the other! Well at least one had an imagination.

GMs get bored to  death! TRUST me on this one.
You try to be a D&D GM with your little sister as a player, who will whine every time it doesn't go her way (aka: every 5 minutes!), a ten-fold that!

[Suno_Regin]

But not all GMs have a little sister that plays =P

GMs don't get bored to death, they get irritated

But so do the players, so I guess it works out

Ha haha so true.

I don't think GM's have the work load to get bored. Just tired ...

you're remark is fully right.
I don't get bored too, because there is so much work to do.
And i don't have a little sister too.
But at the moment i become bored, then i simple log out of Planeshift
and return to normal life.

Many people seem sometimes to forget, that there is a real life besides Planeshift too.
Those are the people complaining in the forums, that the server is down.
This is the only thing, that is irritating me from time to time, at this moment.

True, true.
But it also irritates other people, Tarel

Hi Folks,

when you becom a GM is it possible to still enjoy the game in the same way as you did before or does it have to totally change the way you play?


Thanks,

Thandar.

Not to sure what to say about it. Its kinda dodgey, like with the whole of PS there is a sort of 'political' underflow about. It can get a bit tedious at times... does have its moments though,

Deblin says: well can i have like a store
Neeve says: no
Deblin says: why not
Neeve says: you may sell items to a merchant like hanquist
Neeve says: because there is no 'store' feature
Deblin says: how come hes a mercant
Deblin says: can i be one
Neeve says: Deblin, Harnquist is an NPC
Deblin says: ohh
Deblin says: now u tell me

:d

That is funny!

I actually consider it to be 'quieter' now than when i first became a GM. I miss Dem too, O.o

Many people start spending a lot less time on their own char.

to quote Venge on the similar type of subject,

b) You are not supposed to play the game as GM.  You are there to GM.  If you want to play, logout and log back in as your non-GM alt.

Edit: formatting + that post = wtf.

You just can't have your GM char on the same account as your regular character, but beyond that it's just an issue of time. Once you start GMing you have a responsibility to be available as a GM as much as possible, so your regular character often gets less attention.

I am glad this topic came up.  We are in the process of changing our Guild's name and story for precisely this reason.

Thanks Karyuu and Drey. That's great.
