I've had a similar message in the past.

People feel entitled to being players and genuinely scared of the work GMs put into their role. Usually what I do is accept the role and then proceed to take 0 suggestions and runs what I want to run because if the players wanted their little pre-planned adventure they would have DM'd it.

I don't use Roll20 but it happened to me twice irl after people overheard me talking about my RT game with the owner of my LGS. I turned them down because one wanted to run 4th and the other was talking about secretly adding a cultist in the game that he would play

>hey lets play something fun

>the fun is really me sabotaging the party, why isn't anyone having any fun but me?

every. fucking. time.

I don't know where people get that idea that working against the party is fun when all it does is get people pissed at each other OOC and IC as the GM tries to keep them from killing each other.

It happened to me once when I was like 14 or 15. Three of my friends came over to my house one summer and were like
>"Anon, we have these now characters for a really cool assassin campaign that we want you to GM."
>"That sounds great, but why aren't one of you running it since it's your idea and all?"
"Oh, but you're a much better GM than us."
"Perhaps, but I haven't prepared any fucking material for an assassin campaign."
This went on for a while until I ran the worst session I have ever been a part of, and after that they stopped asking me to run their ideas for them.

>genuinely scared of the work GMs
They are not scared of work, they are just lazy, useless fuckers. They have all the books, they have the time they just don't want to do the work. Let them starve.

I've had this happen once, with a physical meetup, and I had a chance to actually meet and screen them. Turns out most of them are decent people, who knew?

No one ever approached me with a specific idea and asked if I could run it, but I live in a dormitory and few persons did approach me and asked if I could ran a campaign with them someday when they learned that I'm GM-ing for a group of friends.

>Is this a thing now?
Yes it is a thing. Some online RP sites even have whole sections for "group* looking for a GM!".

*group may mean "one guy with an idea plus a bunch that joined him after he posted said idea"
