About me
I've been playing various dungeon crawl games and RPGs since I was young, and got into being a game master for my friends in college. I found I had a lot of fun coming up with homebrew ideas and worldbuilding for d20 and other systems based games, and I'm still enamored by over the top creative worlds and alternate histories from games like Exalted and Shadowrun. Unfortunately, adulthood has made it harder for my real life friends to get together for games lately, and all of my Friendly Local Game Stores have closed since 2020. I've been playing TTRPGs for about 25 years, and been a GM for about half as long. I like to run campaigns that change and challenge the listed assumptions about the game worlds as written in player handbooks and monster splats, where I want the players to carve out their own reputations in a world still full of heroes and villains pursuing their own agendas. I like to run games that cater to multiple styles of play, a nice balance of roleplay and combat, as deep into the intrigue of the world beyond as the party cares to travel. My media influences include, but are not limited to: the Stormlight Archive novels, Redwall, the Wheel of Time (my favorite :) ), Avatar: the Last Airbender, Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft, the Elder Scrolls, the 13th Warrior, Dragonball, and many others. https://startplaying.games/gm/brian_the_fuzzy/review
