How Omega runs games
My GM style is full of surprises. First and foremost, I am a rule of cool GM meaning that I am (for the most part) willing to try. I am willing to meet you halfway with the awesome things you want to do. However, I am also a GM who immensely knows the rules so I will meet you with the caveat of understanding how most things SHOULD go. I enjoy roleplay highly — with my background in stage acting & performance, RP comes to me easily and the tables I run tend to lean heavy into roleplay aspects. I'm also, truthfully, a fan of an intense combat. Showing off the things you can do and how they synergize with your party is one of the best feelings for me so expect a nice juicy combat at my tables. I like to make individuals feel comfortable at my table at the end of the day. These games are collaborative storytelling and I seek to tell that story, however it pans out.
