Getting Out of the GM Chair

The online gaming group that (in part) gave birth to Cannibal Halfling Gaming works on a rotating roster of gamemasters and campaigns. The typical arrangement is that two campaigns are being run by two different GMs, trading off our weekly slot so that we can maximize the number of games we play, give GMs a rest between sessions, and get back into thing quickly if we have to scratch a week. Exactly who those two GMs are also changes in terms of first session to last session most campaigns last about a year, with perhaps 15-20 sessions, and many GMs then step down to let another step up.This last July, I wrapped up a game of Cyberpunk RED that had lasted three and a half years with 42 sessions.Depending on how you count things (because Aaron built a DIE-shaped trap door into a Burned Over campaign, cheeky bugger that he is), Cyberpunk RED: The Alleyway ran alongside/outlasted 2-3 other campaigns. Unsurprisingly, I'm no longer in the GM seat for that group. It will likely be a few years before I return to the GMing chair in that group, actually, and that's okay! However, after a few weeks I realized that, for the first time in maybe a decade... I wasn't running anything for anyone.

1. Take your damn lunch.

2. Its fun to say grumpily crumpled.
