@ArtAngst – "up until now he’s been a member but not a DM, so hasn’t really had any ‘leadership’ in this group AND it’s not a school club, just friends (an offshoot of the theater and tech ).
I don’t know how you would quantify participation. If it’s important then it’ll be “this experience helped me…develop writing skills, collaborate on stories…” “And I want to continue this”.
I’ll say that D was a DM and friend as participant–and they now have a comic book going into its fourth issue…
Takes more than just a DM.
