How DJ runs games

-By-the-book with rules and character customization but will not jeopardize pacing or action of the game to argue about them. Usually if there's an issue, I will make a ruling that we all agree on as a table and move on until we learn otherwise during or after the session. From thereon is where the new rules we learn apply. -I personally tend to be very flexible with my games to let the players have real freedom to do what they want. -I prefer tactical combat, but I do my best to role play as much as possible. -Like I said earlier, I think pacing is really important in games. I do my best to make sure that combat or certain sections don't overstay their welcome. That being said, helpful and constructive criticism is always appreciated! I think it is necessary for a better experience overall.

I deal with rules issues by...

The GM makes a decision then we play it out. If we find a rule is different than we think then change the the we handle that coming up again the correct way.

I prep by

Of course reading the materiel and finding music that will help set the mood, building adding on to a game that makes scene for the players.

My games focus on...

Having fun! That why we Start Playing (see what did there)!
