Critical Hits

The Journal of Gamer Culture

Where has the post-game funk gone?

I don’t feel down at all about the bad game we had last Friday, I’m actually surprised at that. While bad sessions are a lot rarer than they were (switching from Gurps to D&D 3.0 was hard!), I often felt that it was finally time to hang my RPG skates after such a session. Even when we have an incredible session, I often feel gamed out and spent creatively speaking and I usually need a full week to recuperate.

It must be a tribute to the constructive impact of having discussed the session with the group since and having spewed my impressions out on this here blog. I’m already energetically planning the next session and am looking forward to the next game. (Ahrg! 2 weeks is a looooong time to wait!)

Can’t wait to have the players kick some serious Yugoloth butt and get the credit they deserve!

The Chatty DM is the "nom de plume" of gamer geek Philippe-Antoine Menard. He has been GMing various versions of D&D and other RPGs for nearly 30 years. A renowned RPG blogger, game designer and published author, he squats a corner of Critical Hits he affectionately calls "Musings of the Chatty DM." (Email Phil or follow him on Twitter.)
