Hello, fine readers, and welcome to Issue #15. Who brought snacks? I. The Different Types of GM Fun This week, I tackle a topic I’ve been thinking about for a long time: What is the fun of being a GM? Or taking a leaf from the Manyfold Glossary, what are the various kinds of fun? This question first bubbled up in my mind at a time when I was really burned out with DMing a 5e campaign. The whole process had left me feeling like I was ‘responsible’ for everyone else’s fun. Like the group was a troop and I was the quartermaster who controlled our stock of fun and was in charge of rationing it out. Yes, it wasn’t a healthy dynamic. But it’s one that for better or worse, I have personally come to equate with trad games.
