Only a couple times, the campaigns only ever lasted a few sessions. It's hard when the only DM you know is 7,000 miles away and you don't have money to go to a paid session at a game store.

I have never paid to play in my life!
Neither have I... I'd rather not play at all than pay $20 a week to play with strangers
Fuck that...you mean all those years of running games I could have been paid?!
Yup, game stores host and charge an overhead from the DM, but generally the DM will then charge a little more than that. It's not a TON of money... Maybe you make 15-60 a session depending on the number of people and how much you charge, but still :/
I don't vibe with that. For me it's always been about hanging out with people I have fun with. I rarely played in a shop, usually my place or a friend's.
Well...now I suppose anywhere with internet works
