“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.

For long games or stressful content, having built-in breaks allows the group to stay focused and process content. This time can be used for bio breaks, conversation, or any other necessities.

Breaks

Lines and Veils set the boundaries of the games. Lines are hard limits for content the group doesn't want to participate in, this means that content will not be in game, referenced in game, or alluded to. Veils are soft limits, meaning that when the content arises it might be mentioned, but not described, or it could mean that when the content shows up, it results in a “fade-to-black”.

Lines and Veils

Open-Door is an assurance that anyone in the group can take a break from the game for their own safety and well-being without judgement. This should be made clear to the group.

Open Door

Session 0s are used to start the game, opening up with communication, setting expectations, and discussing any safety tools that will be used at the table.

Stars and Wishes are used to reflect and discuss feedback in a positive way. Stars are used for things that participants enjoyed in the game. Wishes are things that participants would like to see in the future. Both players and the GM can express their stars and wishes to make the game better.

The number one rule of tabletop RPGs is simple: "Everyone should be having fun." That philosophy guides every game I run. Whether it’s diving into epic battles, solving mysteries, or roleplaying your heart out, my goal is to ensure we’re all enjoying the adventure together. So let’s roll some dice and make it happen!

As a narratively-focused GM, I specialize in crafting worlds that respond to player backstories. I love creating memorable NPCs, engaging missions, and opportunities for character-driven storytelling. Collaboration is key: I’m always excited to work with players to weave their characters into the fabric of the world and develop arcs that will be talked about long after the final session. I also love my special effects - I edit loops of music for optional background use, create custom tokens, and utilize scenes, maps, and animation to help draw players into the story. Most of my games contain slightly less combat than is the average, but I'm more than happy to bring the game to fisticuffs more often if that's what the players enjoy. 

When I’m not running games, I’m reading books, watching videos, or otherwise expanding my knowledge of TTRPGs to keep evolving my style. My sessions are organically planned, focusing on story and player agency. While combat isn’t always guaranteed, I’m happy to adjust its frequency to fit the group’s preferences.

A TTRPG isn’t defined by its Game Master — it’s defined by the collaboration of everyone playing, GM included. The world we create is ours to shape together. So, grab your dice, bring your imagination, and let’s tell the next unforgettable story in gaming!
