Title: Looking for inspiration
Post by: jammmer81 on November 13, 2003, 06:03:47 PM
Hi all!

I'm having a bit of a creative block. I'm playing in 2 games a week. The games we play alternate. I was running a D6 Matrix game, but lost the drive to complete it because I didn't know how to keep it original while staying true to the Wachowski brothers (sp). So, I dropped it and informed the 2 players that I wanted to gm something original. At first I was going to do a space opera, but figured it's too early in the creation stage to start a campaign. Now I'm working on a d20 Modern spy campaign and I' not even sure if I want to do that anymore. I just don't have the drive or inspiration to come up with something I really want to run. So my question is this; Can anyone suggest some places on the net that can help me find the insiration I'm looking for OR other ways to find it?

Hi there,

Why bother? You play in two games a week. Why not just enjoy one of them?

This isn't a flippant question. It's quite important. Is there some overriding reason you want to play with these people even if you're not excited about prepping for it?

Best,
Ron

Sometimes, the best way to find inspiration is to cease looking for it.

In other words, take a break. :)
