My favorite books are

The Redwall Series Sword of Shannara Sword of Truth

I got started GMing...

because of my love for story telling & entertaining. I started on SPG during the Pandemic. I love entertaining & this is hands down my favorite medium.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Taking care of my kiddos & painting D&D miniatures.

How StoryWeaver Steve runs games

Safety Tools & Communication 🦺 - My job here is to make sure everyone is having a good time. I do that by making sure we are all sitting down to the same tone of game. Monte Cook Consent in Gaming checklist is used for all games. 💛This is a safe space, if you're neuro-divergent, lbgtq+,disabled, or having financial hardships you have a spot here. DM me for any special accommodations you might need to be able to participate. See your Miniature doing battle ⚔ , 4 years exp running games with Battle Maps, 3d Terrain & Miniatures with a secondary camera. In combat I use Spell effects, Miniature customizations, and special lighting filters for an immersive experience. Backstory Incorporation - I want to include as much of your characters story into the world as you're comfortable role playing. NPC Voices 🎭 - From silly to creepy, heartwarming families to snotty kids asking for copper pieces I try to do it all.

Rules are...

a framework to facilitate gameplay. My goal is to be fair, consistent & to focus on fun. I aim for a blend of Rules as intended & Rule of cool. I feel like this encourages creativity for all 3 pillars of the game, Exploration, Roleplay & Combat. So lets get creative & lets roll some dice!

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Sam Raimi. Hands down. Action, horror, comedy & characters you can relate to.

My games focus on...

FUN! Above all else these are games & they should be fun!

StoryWeaver Steve's ideal table

My tables are open to all ages & "skill" levels. My goal is for everyone to have fun. So I make sure we're all on the same page about the type of game & where the lines & veils are.

I love it when a player

"wins" or succeeds at their goals. Especially Narrative Story goals. Let me incorporate your characters backstory & tell an amazing tale together.

I am for a vibe that's...

"root beer & pretzels". a table where we're all having fun & there's no "pressure" to preform, or optimize your PC build etc.. Whatever your comfort or skill level is, the "root beer & pretzels" vibe aims to match you wherever you are on the TTRPG journey.

My table is not the place for...

Racists, Bigots, sexists, transphobes, or exploiters of the working & disabled classes. OR Uncooperative players- It's a group game, so lets focus on everyone having fun. Any PVP or PC to PC antagonism, needs to be discussed ahead of time. Those two things can be fun, IF worked out ahead of time.
