I would agree, I enjoy DM'ing but to put on a good game can be hard graft at times.
D&D 5e, starting a game soon, any DM's have tips?

I've not done the pay to play arrangement on Roll20 beyond chipping in to get the GM source books, a small group of people bought me some tile sets to run a tutorial game for them a while back but that's the extent of me being paid on Roll20. I feel like I'd need to spend loads of time making everything perfect to even consider charging a monthly fee to run a game, it'd probably consume my spare time completely.
People have donated a little when I've been running local games, usually to help cover the costs of things like printing handouts or purchasing a few props.

That was definitely one of my best accidents... I'm not sure if I've used my bear form in combat since that incident happened.lordhughes said:
Depending on whether Woogie joins our current campaign, I believe there may be a space.
Soldato
If you do end up with a space Id be interested (assuming I can make the times you play). Happy to have an offline chat when/if the time comes

Yeah I'll give @Woogie first refusal as he asked first. We play 19:30 - 22:30 on Tuesday or Thursday evenings.
Soldato
Unfortunately those happen to be the days I cannot do. Thanks for the offer though.
Caporegime
That's ok! You still interested @GhostlyPea? Send me a trust message and we can discuss it.

The group really needs more barbarians

Paid DMs are all the rage these days. It's always been a little difficult for me to get my head around, as my group has no shortage of willing DMs - in fact, we've argued over who gets to DM next.
That said, there are a lot of people out there who are struggling to get a game - and paying might be the only way. To be fair, DM'ing can be a lot of effort during downtime.

Are you thinking we need another one to help train Hendel to reckless attack?
Soldato
Took me forever to get a game as a player and had to start as a DM to eventually get a game as a player. I really enjoy DM'ing but if you do a good job of it then you will probably put a lot of time into it.
I've got a kind DM right, 2 full sessions of combat and not suffered a single point of damage
Unlike another DM I could mention who psychic attacked me because he was in a huff

I can't even remember what it was about, was just in an awkward mood
Wasn't just me though, Owain got it too

It says a lot when Hendel isn't the most annoying player in a session, apart from his stupid 'tell me what i need to know' rant!

I made one comment and got hit! Took you ages to get damaged...
Soldato
That was hilarious!
"Listen hendel!"
"I am listening!"
*Shami related a load more information*
"But what about that?"
"I just told you Hendel!"
"No but I don't want to hear that!"
Repeat after infinitum until Hendel gets the answer as he believes it should be, not what it is

Not quite I was asking how far away the guys were that were shooting arrows at us. It didnt seem like a tough question to ask but apparently cause he hadnt prepared the map he was trying to dodge the question but I wasnt having any of it
Gets hit with arrows.
"Can we see where they came from"
"yes directly ahead of you"
"How far"
"You cant see they came from out the darkness"
"I have 60 feet of dark vision are you sure"
"You dont need darkvision the area is lit up"
"So how far away are they?"
DM quickly prepares and loads map a up in a strop
