What do you do to cope with gm burnout? it gets bothersome to write sessions these days. and my new group thats new to the whole rpg thing just seems interested in killing and looting. which in my opinion isnt what sr is really about. also we are playing another game which has no equipment or combat system because everything is resolved in a scene like fashion instead of round based. two of my players tried to gm the othe day, one said they would never do it again and the other is hesitent but is being pressured into gming fourth by another player.
what are your experiences with this type of thing? |
