About the adventure
I know, there are some stories and campaigns that we read about and hear about, but for some reason we never get around to playing. Or maybe you have been thinking about this really cool idea, but haven't played it yet? Well, here is a chance to go for it! I'm a very experienced GM since 30+ years, and a published writer/game designer, so you and your group are in good hands! And I can quickly read up on rules and source books when needed. Let me know what your dream campaign or adventure looks like, wether it is published work or something customized?! - and we'll take it from there! I listed Dungeons and Dragons here since it's very popular, but I'm also familiar with a lot of other games, if some other system may fit your idea better! And the day and time can also be discussed if needed. Hope to hear from you guys! And looking forward to fun adventures!

About me
Hi, I'm Greg. I've been a player, a Storyteller and a GM since the viking age. Laid-back, fun, friendly, easy to get along with! Been running events at cons, in gaming clubs, and with friends for forever, it's what I love doing most of all! To do that for a living would be a dream come true!

Creating your character
We will talk about it on discord before the session 0, then finalize the ideas on that session 0, I think. Or if the group has other ideas we will make it work.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
If the group has preferences we will work with that, otherwise discord and roll20, possibly DnD Beyond. Up for discussion. The way I usually run games -- you will need an account on Discord and Roll20, both are free to sign up to. Let me know if you need any assistance in setting it up. (It should be rather easy.) https://discord.com/ https://roll20.net/ Also a working headset or mic/speaker. We will NOT play on camera.
What Viking Skald | Greg brings to the table
WHAT TO EXPECT: * An experienced, flexible and open-minded Game Master. * Theatre of the Mind. * Got a ton of maps too. * Rule of Cool. Better a flowing game than rules layer. * RP heavy, sometimes silly, sometimes scary (hopefully). * Jokes and fun and a light mood around the table. * Immersion when the stars are right. * Intrigue, mystery, social RP, trouble. * 15 minutes of fame - each character around the table will have moments to shine, so please let them. Your moments will also come! Meaning respect others RP as you would like them to respect yours. * Combat lite - the tension and excitement is important, the mechanics not quite so much, but are needed naturally. * Dark themes and horror. * Player choices that matter and get consequences, good or bad. * A living world where NPCs do have their own ideas and plans. * A world that adapts and changes by your actions. * Lots of room for improvisation and ideas. * Unexpected outcomes. * Some mysteries may not be solved right away or at all, as in life. * The journey and the moments is the fun! * My first language is not English, although I get by pretty well, so I may miss references or misunderstand something at times, do feel free to advice me, I like to learn. --- DO NOT EXPECT: - Not lots of hack and slash and gory details, it fades to black. - Different horrors will certainly be implied but mostly not described in very much detail, most of the time. (Suggestions may be more scary.) - I'm no voice actor, but I do silly attempts at times.
Homebrew rules
I sometimes improvize rulings on the fly, to keep the game running smoothly. Rule of cool.
