I'd say so far in my gaming history I've played 80% and been a DM 20% of the time, but that number is slowly becoming more even with my current game (hopefully running all the way up to level 30) and not being a player in any other games at the moment.

In my 25 years as a DM, I must have played as a player less than 10%.

I am not comfortable as a player and I chaff at the perceived restraints. That’s why I took so many GMing duties at Gen Con

Plus, I’m an attention whore… as my readers will attest to.
