anyone else go through game master moods like this?

Truly the ups and downs of running games keep ravaging my life lmao and it has always been like this. I get so down on myself between sessions/prep, but of course I don't want to let anyone down, so I keep running the game...and then when I do feel positive and excited its like - well this is what it's all for, right? So I really don't want to listen to the little voices the rest of the time that tell me it's too hard or it's not worth it. Blehhh

Also thank you Lucidchart for the template that I did not bother to change at all xD

Yeah... Mostly yeah. I don't come up with new ideas typically right before game. That's usually while I'm laying in bed the night before.

My strat to beat the jitters is to write down 3 things I want to wow the players with in a session, then listening to a playlist to hype me up.

Ooh good ideas :3 I feel like writing down 3 awesome things to focus on or look forward to is a great strat.

That post-session crash is a real mood.

This so goddamn much. The post game crash is part of why I don’t DM anymore. </3

Yeah, I feel that. As someone who got stuck being the forever DM, I feel that cycle. I think what really killed me is being unable to follow through on my ideal vision of the game. That and struggling to get feedback from my players no matter what method I used to try to solicit it killed my interest.
