INSIGHT

Professionalism Creates Attraction

  • Attractiveness to a DM often stems from their professional boundary-setting and ethics.
  • That restraint can create a 'thrill of the chase' and is itself sexually appealing.
ADVICE

Volunteer And Seek Trained Organizations

  • Volunteer with organized events and seek groups with formal DM training or orientation.
  • Accept that DMing is usually unpaid and advantages come from training and experience.
ADVICE

Match Your Comfort To The Venue

  • Know an event's rules and your comfort limits before volunteering to DM, especially around blood or fire.
  • If a space allows play you can't comfortably monitor, don't DM for that space.
