About me
Hello, I'm MaxSoulGMz, aka Brian. I've been GMing for over five years, running everything from Blades in the Dark to Grimwild, with a focus on story-driven, character-first campaigns. More importantly, I can't wait to connect with you, build friendships, and learn from each other. My games prioritise creativity, player agency, and long-lasting bonds. Expect a collaborative, emotionally rich table where meaningful choices pave the story. I strive to be transparent so everyone’s expectations—including mine—are understood and respected. I'm always open to feedback, adaptive, and committed to growth, not just as a GM, but as someone who values strong, lasting connections both in and out of game. 🧠Want a peek at how I run things?

Creating your character
You will create a new, fresh Character according to the Rules as Written (RAW) or modify one of the pre-generated Characters. You can use the provided Google Sheets Character Keeper or your Character Sheets. I expect Character Sheets to be completed before the first session starts. You can request my assistance anytime before game sessions.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a microphone and a Discord account. Webcams are optional. Computers/ Laptops are suggested over Mobile Phones, but the latter are still viable. You must create Characters or choose one of the Pre-Gens before Session 1. You are encouraged to read the rules ahead of time. When requested, a live voice session can be arranged to explain the Grimwild system or create/modify a new/existing character.
What MaxSoulGMz (Alt. Brian) brings to the table
I will share PDFs of the Blades in the Dark V8.2 Core Rulebook, Character Playbooks (alongside Pre-Gens) and Cheatsheets with all players. I also own the Deep Cuts Expansion and Blades in the Deck so you can expect additional rules to be used to liven the game up and pose more challenges to you. I'm also an avid content creator, so everyone feels free to charge at me with your crazy ideas, no need to hold back your wild Actions. Expect me to have an open mindset yet be argumentative when we discuss how to achieve what you want with the right price. I'll post reference images such as item art, character portraits, sceneries, or maps into Discord if their presence will contribute to the game. I like to keep every NPC unique through their spins of distinctive traits, appearances, and/or habits.I hope you will like how I present NPCs. Hopefully, the same applies to every other interaction in my game. I have confidence in creating a story we can enjoy together, as such, I expect you all to come in with the same mindset and be active in rollplay and roleplay. Seeing we are all here to have fun, rules can and will be modified to suit the table's needs.

How MaxSoulGMz (Alt. Brian) creates a safe table
There will be a Break halfway through each session. At other times, you are allowed to leave the table at will. I will not scrutinise the reason. However, a heads-up that you will be away will be highly appreciated. I will reflect on the game at the end of or between sessions. You are encouraged to participate in the debriefing and share your opinions. Session 1 starts immediately after a short Session 0. During Session 0, I will provide a game overview and focus on party dynamics.
