I got my post-childhood whimsy fix from running a D&D game for the better part of a decade. Creating a fun lived in world for your players to interact with gave me a lot of the same feelings as I used to get imagining scenarios with my toys back in the day.
People are desperate for DMs with imagination and the ability to actually commit to playing through a whole story so it won't be hard to get a game going.
