About GM AGE

Hi, I'm Adrian, creator of the Age of Adventure RPG - a heroic fantasy tabletop RPG inspired by the 'Lasers & Feelings' d6 system. I like running sessions with a diverse cast of Player Characters that each bring a unique talent or skill to the game. As a GM I ensure everyone playing has an equal chance to shine so whether you’re shy or confident, all players get an equal opportunity to contribute to the adventure. As a player, I find the threat of Character death exciting so I also try and bring this tension to my GM-run games to keep players on their toes! But I am also a fan of the players and love it when Characters overcome challenges through planning, ingenuity, and working as a team. I also particularly love seeing new players at my table, and hope to provide a memorable experience. More info on the Age of Adventure RPG can be found here... https://ageofadventurerpg.carrd.co/

I got started GMing...

after being an avid Fighting Fantasy gamebook reader. My first TTRPG was the Top Secret RPG back in the 80's. I loved it so much I ran 10yr spy campaign. That was followed by a similar run with Palladium's RECON and then Advanced Fighting Fantasy

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Engaging. Organised. Fun

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

playing in one-shots all over the interwebs, playing games with family, watching action and adventure movies, and listening to movie soundtracks and power metal

How GM AGE runs games

I love being a GM and running fantasy adventures for others. I aim to run an enjoyable and inclusive session incorporating encounter images, character voices and background ambience. I am a more traditional GM in the sense that I will describe the scene and then let player actions and the dice rolls decide the outcome. I also believe in giving every player at the table equal game time so that even the quieter and more shy players get an equal opportunity to play their characters, contribute to the gaming experience, and have fun.
