I always find theres room for improvement. That said, I think I do very well. This has to do with input from my players, really. If the players are bored, youre not doing so great. But if they're excited about the next session and how it'll turn out, you're doing exactly what you need to.
Personally, I find that my on the fly skills are as fine as they could be for now, its the descriptions of areas and personalities of the "cookie cutter goons" I need to work on. So, I am. In fact, I prepare a session with little paperwork, most of it is in my head. Preparing an adventure with the amount of paper in a published adventure is still beyond me. My hand would start hurting besides. XD |

I asked my players and they agree, I rock their world. It's funny, I screw them over all the time and they beg for more!

Since only one had room for improvement, I too took that one.
My players tell me that I do a good job, keep them challenged, often barely surviving and that only by using everything at their disposal from skills to gear. I believe that I will always have room for improvement, some trick that I haven't seen before, etc... |

That "I don't like it as much as playing" was my choice. I can barely keep my own character in check when playing, not to mention a whole world, heh – unless it's just me out there, in which case I call it story-writing. I think I'm kind of okay at that.
IRL, I probably suck at GMing, but at least the players haven't left yet! Online, I'd like to think I'm considerably better, but I haven't actually got feedback. |
