About Alec Agabon
Heya! My name is Alec and I'll be your Game Captain for this adventure. I specialize in easing new players into the world of table top role playing. I've done over 100 hours of hosting role playing content, and about 7ish years of GMing. I've run dozens of players of all types and play styles through many campaigns. If my players are having fun, I'm having fun!

How Alec Agabon runs games
I'm a very fast and loose minimalist Game Master. I use Discord, "theater of the mind" and let players roll their own dice. During encounters I do share character art with the party to give them visual references. Encouraging folks to try out creative solutions to any situation is what excites me. Having spent a lot of time on camera I try to use a multitude of character voices and personality types. Keeping the whole table engaged as a story telling team is my top priority. My core belief when it comes to running the game is that bad rolls should be as entertaining and fun as good rolls. Stumbling and learning from our mistakes is a big part of growing and life in general so I like to run games with emotional variety without a sense that rolling low feels like "losing."
Alec Agabon's ideal table
I try to keep everyone interested with what's happening with the story. A lot of my GM style has developed trying to reign in groups of up to 9 people after a work day, trying to at least have a satisfying ending to the session while still allowing breaks and letting people have their little tangents every now and then. It's all about having a good time together.

I am for a vibe that's...
A lighthearted hangout, with some surprising depth occasionally. Like a sitcom that every now and then has an episode that really sticks with you.
I love it when a player
Had a good time and can share a fun moment from the session.
I think metagaming...
Can be great if it's in service of making a memorable moment, but can easily fall into people shouting about nothing for several minutes.
