You can be the most flexible, improvisational DM in the world, but hubris will still get you every time.

I, personally, still have a lot to learn.

Transcript:

DM: For so long, I've been consumed by a desire to be an… "impressive" DM, for lack of a better word. Y'know, to have the kinds of campaigns, villains, and sessions that people tell stories about. Like the games I had when I first started playing, but in a form that I could call "mine." I wanted to stand tall beside my mentors, my idols. You… destroyed my first attempt at that. It seemed to make you happy, so I went with it, but I still wanted to "impress" you all. <sigh> I got so fixated on that. I completely forgot that it's all of you that make these games special, not me. Sorry about that.

Twilight Sparkle: I mean… to be fair, we haven't always been the easiest players to work with at times… So… sorry too. Sorry for getting all mean and rude like that. I was just so frustrated by… you know.
DM: I know.
