Summary
This week we talk about reluctance and anxiety about running games, especially as a new GM. IThis nervousness never goes away, though, as Chris and Tracy attest. We talk about Dot's experiences with her first few games, and offer words of encouragement to those who feel that beautiful desire to share their love of gaming as a GM, but are paralyzed by fear and anxiety that they won't be "good enough."
