I have been a DM for many years and just in the last week or so i have started teaching two of my long term players how to DM themselves, and will be showing them this as a teaching tool. Also I will show them and remark how true it is, and truly annoying they can be as players, Hahahaha. I find that it is really the DM's job to make a world, to make what is around the players, not to force them through hops preplanned out. My players love freedom, and when not given freedom they constantly shatter my plans, and foil the plot.... makes me sound like a super villain, haha. I found this to be a great read.
