Day 25 Question: Name a game that had an impact on you in the last year.
Pass.
Day 25 2017 Question: What is the best way to thank your GM?
Nine weeks ago I probably would have said "A bag of weed," lol. I'm taking an extended break from smoking, so the "DM RRRRiiiipppppsssss" is not a ritual I'm participating in for an indefinite period.
How else could a player show me gratitude, then? A simple thank you is enough. I also like hearing about what a player liked specifically in the game. Did I give them a good scare, run an exciting combat, play an NPC well, or give them a challenging and fun puzzle to solve? That kind of feedback helps me when I prepare the next game.
I like being given snacks and beverages that are tasty and refreshing. I've always been hydration obsessed, so if someone is making sure I have plenty of water or tea while I DM, that's considerate.
Lastly, I got to step out from behind the DM screen (figuratively, I haven't actually used a screen in several years) last fall. One of my players jumped into the hot seat and started running games for the first time. It was fun to be a player again!
