About Patrick McNamara

Hi! I'm Patrick, and I've been running TTRPGs professionally for the last 8 years. I've run and performed in games for the RPG titans at Penny Arcade and appeared as a performer for numerous other providers like The Old Ways and Stream Of Blood. If you'd like a preview of my style, you can check out Mage Of Sail, a swashbuckling tale of magic and mystery where Wizard Pirates fight the British Empire: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy61zACk1DPBMjrNGah2y83L2F9OioBXi&si=xyPZeIahr4DdZ84Z

Patrick McNamara's ideal table

My ideal table is light-hearted, collaborative and fun. I want my players to feel like they have the freedom to express themselves creatively and come up with innovative solutions to whatever problems they face.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

comes up with a solution to a problem that I could never have thought of.

I think it's a red flag when players...

belittle other players or use roleplay as an excuse to be rude.

My table is not the place for...

backseating or acting aggressively towards other players.
