I am still a pretty terrible DM, and I feel like the experience of my current campaign is not improving. I think I'm going to have to shake things up and probably cancel this campaign. Maybe run some one-shots in different systems, maybe with different groups.
@radix Maybe you are preparing to much? I find it much easier to run short, self-contained adventures with just the barest of notes than to run meticolously prepared overarching plots with lots of details.
@Belchion I've heard this sentiment many many times and it's totally untrue for me :) I have definitely tried the "prepare less and be more flexible" thing, but improvisation is probably where I'm weakest in DMing
