How to Prevent RPG Game Master Burnout! (GM Tips w/ Matt Mercer) 

how so?

You and me both friend

Ditto.

So you have to be famous to play with Matt Mercer, I would like to be a helpful aide for the party for 1 session. Not only for Matt Mercer's campaign also for Matt Colville.

It's been 7yrs. How is the goal going?

balgus82 The editor left in a shit as well. I talk more about this on Ablehawk's comment.

It's probably like how basic tv shows can say it a number of times before ramifications. Comedians deal with this during their shows as well sometimes, for anyone who watches stand-up.

Scott McIntyre Girdle if masculinity/femininity identifies as a girdle of giant's strength. It's a cursed item, meant to trick players into putting it on.

Jared Knight Depends on the edition.

valsevenav THAT’S CRAZY.

well... try running basically 3 different campaigns each weak and at the same time try to develop your own TTRPG system (these campaigns are test ones for a test of mechanics). Unless you do that you can't imagine what a drain it really is. Good thing one of said campaigns is closing to a main storyline end after which i can put it on hold. and other weekly is basically pure hack'n'slash type like any darksouls video game (mostly combat, with spare moments of SOCIAL ACTIVITYYYY)

@@kamirostorino9416 Just because you do more than the average gm, doesn't automatically nullify other people's experiences. If it's draining it's draining, and they still do a lot of work. You're gming does sound tiring and stressful to me though XD

@@raymorr8713 i know... i know that not everyone can take the same amount of dming without tiring themselves... but for me it is not tiring so much as i rarely prepare anything outside of the world players are in. there is a lot of potencial misteries and lore my plater missed and i do not railroad them into it. basically every session i ask players what do they want to do. where do they go. i'm forcing them to make decisions on what to do next. and i make world react to their decisions

Kamiros Torino that's awesome, I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were saying :)

Yeah. I've been there on both sides of the screen. It sucks.

ThePictoTube how to appease god

1Lee 'Cause shit's nasty dude.

Cute shit is not a noice word m8

you have to limit the number of curse words or else something bad happens.

It's most likely an oversight, but there is censoring for comedic effect.

He said shit earlier on uncensored too which is weird

Does she GM a series like Critical Role? If so, what series?

I'm not sure if she DMs. But she plays with her friends (and has vids that document it -- but not in the same vein as CritRole) and is very active in the D&D scene.

i'm pretty sure that she DMs too, otherwise why put someone in the GM tips if they never GMed their entire life.

Rohml She DMs on hyperrpg, if I'm not mistaken.

Hmmm... I originally read that as "seeing" not "hearing"... I got a lol out of it.

yoooo :))

We do the same. I use to DM years ago and I actually took over after our first DM took off. He was a guy I worked with and had things going on. Another player and I will trade places and DM to different adventures. His style isn't the same as mine. I am by the book but "great" at knowing the parties limits. I know one of the members doesn't like our other DM, but I enjoy the break.

one interessting way of doing it (not my idea) is to rotate DMing between all players in certain intervalls (time wise ormore likely arc wise) while remaining within the same story/setting with the same group of adventurers. its a bit challenging and less free since you have to work with what was given to you (unless you are the first to DM ^^) but it can create an interessting dynamic and bring the other player closer to DMing btw i know the idea from "Gems of Power" ^^

Do you and your buddy DM the same campaign or do you each host your own campaigns? I'm hosting one for some friends, but I think another one of my friends wants to try his hand at it so I'm curious as to how others do it.

well in my group i DM a campain and one of my friedns is hosting another campain in another system at the same time ^^ (this allowes us to play every two weeks while every DM has 1 month to prepare ^^ AND the DMs both can play as well as DM)

I do the same with my group we have two DMs myself and a friend both of us great story tellers, we have two separate campaigns with two different styles, my is more about politics and government where the players arrived at a crime riddled city and slowly began the take over after gaining control of said city they mad an army and now focus on making allies and fighting wars,Our other campaign is more combat focused, we are a band of mercenaries, where dungeon delving is more how we spend our time. As Mercer said come to a natural conclusion to current quests or events before switching it will be much less jarring for your group if you do it this way.

Kalaxus Mageslayer Vick did time. Unlike the woman beater Elliott and Joe Mixon. Jokes old now man

So you're John Wick.

Celebrity Dog Killers are a rare sight in our news cycles, hard to come up with fresher alternatives. When I think Dog Killer only 2 people come to mind, Lord Lucien and Michael Vick. Vick has more name recognition and was more recent than Fable 2 release. ^_-

Lord Lucien ?

the main villain of fable 2. Spoilers, he kills your dog at the end.

John - this ^^^^ PLEASE!

SinerAthin that's exactly how I feel. I like dming though so I don't find it an issue - being a player now is too slow for me.

Taking a walk is still an option.

@@LordVader1094 not at the moment, since I'm quarantined.

Only if they have the magic stone cantrip.

Everyone could even have a character that they only use for those one shots, so it is a regular adventuring party that knows each other too.
