So I DM'd a game for an entire year and a half. It was only the second time that I'd ever DM'd anything, and it was grueling. It had it's ups and downs, but two weeks ago it finally came to an end. Everyone was satisfied with how it concluded, and I left enough loose hooks so that if they ever wanted to play in the universe again there'd be stuff to do.

For the two months leading up to the final session, I was giddy with excitement. After so long, it was finally going to end. I was no longer going to have the pressure of preparing and running a game. It was fun, yes, but it was beginning to feel more like work than fun, and so I was looking forward to it ending. I knew that the other guys would be more than willing to step up and run something else after it ended, so I had absolutely zero worries about having nothing to do after it was over.

So why can't I stop thinking about running more games, /tg/? It doesn't make sense. I'm free. I can be a player, and not a DM now, but my brain won't stop concocting possible game ideas and going, "run that! RUN IT!"

Help me, /tg/.
