What Brian Espinosa brings to the table

As a GM there are a few things I consider important to running a quality game. 1. Playing to find out what happens. I never plan out the player's solutions to the problems characters face. The fun of these games is creating a story together, and I want to give you all that freedom to help decide where the story goes. 2. Match what makes the players excited. I rely on my players to communicate what interests them about ttrpgs, a setting, or a system. I then adjust my games to focus on those things. I want to play the gmae that you're interested in playing. 3. The Rule of Cool. These games are all about creative problem solving. I always embrace creative player ideas and find a fair way to make them work because I know how great that feels as a player. Swing from chandeliers, cast a spell in a weird way, and try your best to convince the villain of whatever you like. Let’s worry more about telling a good story than following the rules.

Homebrew rules

I'm open to homebrew if it's presented to me first.

How Brian Espinosa creates a safe table

I like to use Stars and Wishes for easy and clear player feedback. I also encourage players to send me their Lines and Veils so that we can keep people feeling comfortable and safe. Finally, if a player ever does feel uncomfortable with what's happening, please feel free to send me an X and we will resolve the uncomfortable situation.
