Me as a DM: "I want to get it wrong my way!"

This scene had me tearing up. I had found Mordin so grating and unpleasant at first, but his arch of redemption (for him *and* his species) ended up making him one of my favorites by the end. I didn't even know there were variations to this scene until much later *without* this shot and I'm very greatful I stumbled blindly into this one because it's by far the best.

Where did you get all that confidence from? I get a panic attack merely by *thinking* about DMing a one shot.

I hate feeling like this. A: I feel like a massive dick with a huge ego problem when I think about how I am the best DM in the group. B: It makes me feel like I am a poor player because I should be trying harder when someone else DMs. I know I'm not even that good of a DM, so thinking this makes me feel like I am insulting the others in my group.

Simple, by bearing witness to multiple terrible DMs that have been in my group, while also seeing people actively enjoy when I DM after I started a campaign on a whim after a DM quit our group. I just went "Well, I can't be worse then That guy right?" and ran with it, jumping into a homebrew campaign with a homebrew world, both of which had 0 planning and about an hours worth of thought put into it in advance. Even the map was something made in MS paint about 10 minutes before the session. Everyone had a blast and I have been Forever DM ever since, even though I still barely know what I am doing.

I have a fondness for the version where he screams "I WAS WRONG!" when confronted about why he is trying so hard to undo his work while you try to convince him to let the cure fail. I never got that scene naturally, but it hits hard.

By watching everyone else fuck it up and going "There is no way I can be worse than that..." Seriously That's how I started. I got so pissed dealing with so many half-assed DMs that I said fuck it I'll do it myself.

Me as a DM: 

I am a theater kid that acts, plays music and sings on sage since i was 5. Sooo thats my story

I let one of my players DM for once and she railroaded it. Me walking away from the party because my character litterly just met them and doesnt know them. Her constantly: "you run into a cliff. Cant walk there there is a huge hedge" Then when i did just say fuck it. Basicly forced my character to go to a town. And then she said "a portal opens up underneath you and you are back with the party in their Dimension they are in right now" No the party didnt summon me, no other magic was involved from any NPC or me. I left that exact session and returned on DMing

Was it her first time DMing?

I dont know. But she said she created a whole world and stuff. She also had a DMPC named gobo that was "tihi so random funmy haha lol xd rofl"

*"I am in this photo and I don't like it."*

So you were actively refusing to engage with the game? I sure hope you're a better GM than you are a player.

Would you go deeper into a forrest where this goblin that was clearly maliciouse and can not be damaged went into as well as you found traces of a owl bear herd, with some people that you just woke up next to in a cave? My characters goals was collecting cooking books and books about ingreedients plus finding the rarest one and to get back at the mafia that cursed him to become a skeleton. Im sorry i must have missed the part where in a TTRPG ROLEPLAYING isnt the center core point anymore

The centre core point is *collaborative* storytelling. Which means working with the others at the table, not going off to do your own thing. Would I go into that forest? Sure, why not. Either it will be a fun adventure, or a TPK (which can be fun in its own way, and hopefully also be educational for the GM).
