How Bruce runs games
I'm a player's GM, in that I try to let the players progress the story through role play and narrative action. I encourage immersive role playing and improvisation, and will personalize every game to that group based on the action and agency of the players, and the dynamics of the party. I have experience in improvisational theater and an voice work and will bring those skills to the table.

Rules are...
Fair an flexible. No written set of rules can account for every situation, so my philosophy is "Rulings over rules".
When it comes to voices
Voices are the primary driver of the game session, and I want to create immersion by creating unique and memorable personas for my players to interact with.
Bruce's ideal table
-Game Style & Tone- The tone of my games is narrative and player‑driven. I promote active, immersive roleplaying and I will contribute voice acting, unique character personas and rich colorful game world for your characters to play in. I follow a “Rulings over Rules” philosophy. I play by the book, but no ruleset can cover every possible situation. If a rule does not make sense in context, I will make a fair ruling to keep the game flowing smoothly. -Player Conduct & Table Etiquette- + Be respectful and kind to everyone at the table + Honor the spotlight - defer to the player who currently has the spotlight. + No meta-play, no PVP unless its part of the game design. + Keep non‑game chatter to a minimum to maintain focus and pacing. + Punctuality is appreciated so we can begin and end sessions on time. -Content Boundaries- This table adheres to a relative “R” rating for content. When appropriate, I will apply lines and veils to maintain a safe and comfortable experience for all players. Safety tools will be used. -Technology Requirements- A microphone, a stable internet connection, and a free Discord account are required to participate. Games hosted on Roll20 require a free personal account.

I am for a vibe that's...
fun, exciting, collaborative and full of surprises.
I love it when a player
Tilts the narrative into an unexpected direction. Player ideas and inspiration as some of the richest material for narrative roleplaying. Taking that players inspiration and weaving into the story is immensely satisfying.
