Playing...a poor substitution for GMing

Quote from: Tyberious FunkWell, you might think I'm crazy, but gaol-bait isn't really my style.  Besides, I don't think Mrs Funk would approve.
1) Admiring the scenery is ok as long as you don't play on the grass.
2) 18 be legal! I wasn't suggesting cruising Jr. High or something. :p Perv.
3) You can run into some fairly mature, yet childlike 20ish people at universities

Quote from: pspahnHeh, heh.  I'll state the obvious, then.  Publish them.

Well, as you know, I've tried my hand at a little bit of fan publishing.  It's not as satisfying as I thought it would be, probably because it's a lot of work for a relatively little bit of credit/appreciation/recognition.  That, and I'm probably not good enough to enter the professional ring yet (or not professional enough to enter the professional ring ;)).

Another thing is that some of the ideas are those that are really hard to get down in an organized pattern on paper.  They are a ton of little ideas floating around in my head just waiting for the players to trigger them...or lead me in different directions I wasn't even planning for.  It's frustrating to have a great idea you can't immediately play...and are having problems writing down.  I'm always afraid some of these ideas are going to get lost forever.

As a GM I find myself wanting to play. As a Player I find myself wanting to GM. There has to be a balance somehow. The best is with multipul GMs.
