Featured Prompts

I got started GMing...

Because I didn't have anyone else to do it for me! I started running (pretty awful) games for my younger brother in 1997 and have been doing more and getting better at it since.

People are always surprised when I tell them

I've never read Tolkien. Not even The Hobbit.

How Sean Creef runs games

I prefer story but am quite mechanically competent. My style will vary depending on the tone and the themes of the game. I like to enmesh the players into the world with in character messages, blogs, social media and the like - setting dependent. I am an excellent improvisor in systems I know well. I do voices at times, often without even realizing it, but I try and make each NPC feel distinct.

Sean Creef's ideal table

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

relaxed and welcoming and not too overly serious.

I think metagaming...

is natural, and can be ok. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be mechanically sound, but many of the best stories come from walking into traps the player can see, but the character blunders into anyway.

My table is not the place for...

Nazis. If you aren't sure if that means you, it means you.
