Might as well try it, though I'd have to loosen up my obsessive prep.

Does world-building scratch your itch?

Not really, I'm afraid. Building the game mechanics for a world does, but it usually goes to waste after a couple of sessions.

I love using random generators in Game Mastering. The Collaborative Gamer has an excellent set, especially for NPC's and his "Solo6" (which doesn't have to be used for solo games). I also just kind of collect random generators from all over the place. (including a bunch of custom ones)

This is a very interesting idea. Maybe the random factor could spark some joy for me as well. I'll look into that!

Is your dilema about gaming because you can't find a good GM, or for other reasons?

Kind of. I can't find a willing GM (never mind a good one) among my friends, and I just can't bring myself to play with strangers.
