About Wade
I began playing TTRPGs in 2019. I always wanted to play as a kid, but none of my friends played. It wasn't until I came across an online game, LA by Night, on YouTube that I realized TTRPGs could be played online. Game over. I dived into the World of Darkness. I played in a game and decided I wanted to run my own game. Since 2019, I've run four chronicles that've lasted over a year, and two chronicles that've run for over three years. I have also run multiple 10-session campaigns.

I got started GMing...
because I wanted to tell stories, I wanted to see my players solve mysteries, make difficult choices, use their creativity, and see how badly they mess up.
My favorite books are
I'll only state one of my favorite books, The Stand by Stephen King.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...

How Wade runs games
I'm definitely a Storyteller. I love when my players roleplay. I strive to work collaboratively with my players, incorporating their character preferences into the game as the story allows. I conduct a session zero to present my ideas and to get the ideas of my players on what they want from the game. Together, the goal is for us to weave a tale of intrigue, action, emotion, rewards, and consequences. I'm not a strict rule monger, but we will follow the rules approximately 80% of the time. I do follow the "Rule of Cool", if someone comes up with something unique, innovative, or just a great idea, I'm likely to go with it. My ultimate goal is for everyone to have fun. If we aren't having fun, then why are we doing this?
Wade's ideal table
My ideal table is 4 to 6 players. I initially thought 6 players would be too difficult, giving everyone ample individual storytime, but surprisingly, it worked. The types of players that I work best with are excited about playing, come with creative minds, are friendly, and are not power gamers. The vibe people would get from my table is that players are engaged and the stories are character-driven.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
If you're into fun, you're going to love my table.
I love it when a player
role plays a scene in a way that I never expected. I love it and it makes me enjoy the game as a storyteller.
I think min/maxing...
ruins the fun of playing a game. Min/maxers want all the benefits but none of the problems. Problems are what make the games fun.
