You guys can pay me for being brilliant and doing what I already do for free! Seriously I was just trolling the forums and saw a bunch of GMs who are soliciting money for their games. I find that cheapens the event. I run because I enjoy running, and I hope I do it well. I hope you all come because you enjoy the game and want to contribute to it with your wit, creativity, and sense of adventure. If we were in the same time and met over a game table I would hope everyone would chip in for pizza and sodas but that is all. What surprises me is how many people are buying into the whole pay-to-play structure. How about just enjoying the game? When did that become not enough? If someone doesn't have fun do they get a refund? What if their character does not get enough 'screen time', do they get a full or partial refund? C'mon, this is just...sad. Or is it me? I know my lovely wife has suggested I start a pay game but I talked her out of it with one simple statement, my players would not be my friends, they would be my customers. How could I enjoy hanging out with them after that? She never suggested it again. Friendships are worth all the gold on Earth. Thank you for letting me rant. Have a great week guys!
