About Quizbuck

I've been running and playings games in several systems for a few years. In particular, I like structuring stories to highlight the growth of my players' characters. Oh, and really cool monsters. Love them too. Expect an open world with real choice for your characters and immersive adventures with which to get involved.

How Quizbuck runs games

When I run a game I want to give a lot of space for creative problem solving. More than that, I want the actions my players make to really change the nature of the world around them. So time is dedicated to roleplay and decision making. I run RAW (rules as written) for my game systems, so that players know what to expect, this is especially true of combat. I do not run combat in every game session (depending on the narrative needs) but when I do I like for it to have a tactical feel to it, making every encounter different than the ones before. We go over safety tools during session 0, but please know that I use safety tools and "no go" topics before beginning an adventure with players.

Quizbuck's ideal table

I run a positive and encouraging table. Bold choices are encouraged. Players taking the reigns in narrative direction is preferred. Our stories are narrative forward, not combat forward. Here's what that means: not every game has combat, but every game has character growth, and every game pushes the story forward. There certainly is combat in my games, but when there is the stakes are high and the enemies want to win. I like a tactical board in those instances.

I am for a vibe that's...

positive and joyous.

I love it when a player

proposes a "to do" list or a strategy for accomplishing a goal.

My table is not the place for...

Judging other players or demeaning their creative choices.
