About Matthew McCloud
I have been running games for about 30 years, most people who play Call of Cthulhu games at Origins and Gencon probably have heard of me or played in one of my games. I am a very cinematic storyteller that doesn't like to let the rules get in the way of a fantastic tale.

My favorite system of all Time is
Either Traveller or Call of Cthulhu, depending on my mood. Free League's library is opening up new doors to me, however.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Hilarious, Diabolical and creative.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Very Cinematic, I like to immerse the players in the game by using as many descriptive senses as I can... I love to Roleplay, and use fun voices for NPCs. Above all I love to have fun and crack a lot of jokes during the game. You'll have a great time!
How Matthew McCloud runs games
I am a cinematic GM that loves to make the game react to what the players are doing. I tend to use written modules as a guide but don't follow them slavishly... I love telling a good story with the assistance of the players and love to hand agency of the story to the players of the game.
Matthew McCloud's ideal table
Players who love a good story and want to contribute to it will enjoy my games. Very fun and raucous at times, serious and sometimes sad at others. My table runs the gambit!

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Firefly, Supernatural, The Expanse, classic horror movies, HP lovecraft, Conan...Superhero movies of all types too!
I love it when a player
engages me in Roleplay. My one weakness as a GM is often I get so into a scene I forget to RP, so when player initiates, it's a huge thank you from me.
My table is not the place for...
Rules lawyers and Gate keepers.
