>>68419Hello again anon! It's been a year, how are things going in your game? Still playing with that GM and that other guy?
>I spend most of the week despising it>Then it's gaming night and all is forgiven. I have a great time, I get to talk with other human beings I don't actively despise>Then it's the next day and nausea returnsI have started my campaign again and as the GM, I've been having the opposite reaction. I enjoy preparing the game during the week, stocking the dungeons and moving the gears of the world, but on game night I can feel my tank emptying in real-time, and by the end, I tend to be slightly dissatisfied. The players are engaged and definitely seem to enjoy the whole thing, and I think I've found a pretty good risk/reward balance that makes the game meaningful. So I don't know what else I'd want really, yet I usually get more fun preparing the game than actually running it. After the game, I spend the rest of the evening being negative and mulling over minor things that could have gone more smoothly, not feeling the raw satisfaction you'd expect, or being excited about what the players did in the game.
But then, on the following days, I get motivated again and enjoy devising new things for the players.
