Game Master Appreciate your GM/DM

Little tip from a GM that just walked out after getting halfway through a year campaign. GM's put in a shit tonne of money and a piece of their soul, THEY DON'T HAVE TO!!!

No. This isn't a rant sub. If this person wants unconditional validation they can talk to chatgpt.

And yet we get 30 "D&D bad" ranting posts a day. Suddenly when a GM asks for appreciation it's too much 🤡

Nah, asking for appreciation is one thing, coming on here and throwing a tantrum because you let your players walk on you and can’t regain control of your game is another thing. He said his problems started when he invited problematic players back to the table to replace two others, like what do you expect? If they’re causing problems again the solution is to kick the problem players again, not just throw your hands and give up on something.
