About Ian Norris

Love cats, games that mix tones, and running a light-hearted, player-focused experience. Long-time DM/GM (15+ years), love building connective tissue and a game that evolves from giving challenges and then flowing from the player experience. Most adept at running Forged in the Dark and FATE systems, but happy to run anything not D&D. Proud developer of https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/winniethekitty/kitty-committee/

How Ian Norris runs games

Love roleplay combat-light systems, creative solutions to sticky situations, and having fun with it. Expect a bit of a lighter tone, some fun voices, and lots of opportunities to shape the narrative. Favor a "yes, and" and "describe your success" style of play. Expect a fully fleshed out world with a lot of relationships and who you can influence, and the rest of the game is about exploring interacting with those conflicts and consequences.
