I would suggest experimenting with a rules-light system like Fate (if you havent) if you ever find yourself interested and have the time to role-playing.
Personally, I find myself reading RPG books for the setting (Eclipse Phase, Star Trek, Tunnels&Trolls, Traveller ...) and for their mechanics. I agree that the technology mostly gets in the way of the improv. Also, find a group that lets you play! Stop DMing everything. Maybe check out the Mythic Game Emulator which can take on a lot of the directing part of being a DM. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/422929/Mythic-Game-Master-Emulator-Second-Edition https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/422929/Mythic-Game-Mast...
- mnky9800n 3y agoyeah i think my favorite books, besides vampire the masquerade, were those old star wars magazines that would have campaigns and short stories and other things in them. What I think a lot of people think I am saying is that I dislike the rules and that isn't really true. I quite enjoy doing things within the rules to push them to their limit. Minmaxing is probably the reason I became so interested in machine learning at some point (see this jupyter notebook I made for 3.5e to max out your critical hit probabilities: https://github.com/mnky9800n/data-analysis-tools/blob/master/ipython-notebooks/dnd%20critical%20threat%20probabilities.ipynb https://github.com/mnky9800n/data-analysis-tools/blob/master...). I dunno. I just feel sometimes like I have done all there is to do in dungeons and dragons and other roleplaying games.
