About Alexander

I'm Alexander! I'm a professional Artist and a dedicated Novelist. I've been running TTRPGs for about 5 years, (with one of my campaigns lasting that long!)

How Alexander runs games

What I offer to you is the chance to help shape the world-building in Session Zero. I'm handing you the chalk and I want your ideas. I don't want to pull you through one of my worlds, I want it to be a world that YOU have always dreamed of. Bring your wildest ideas! I tend towards narrative-driven and rules-light gameplay. The tension of hoping you roll high enough is a lot of fun, but sometimes, there may be just as much tension in having to make a difficult decision. I strive to find the right balance. Expect some humour, whimsy, but also a lot of drama heading your way. Expect some occasional combat, and enough mystery and intrigue that will keep you hooked and your dice-hand twitching.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Figuring it out collaboratively with the players and committing to using that interpretation from then on

My favorite trope is...

Katabasis! (And I enjoy the opportunity to use the word) It's a "Descent into the Underworld" arc, and if you think about it, ALL the Harry Potter novels end in some sort of Katabasis.

Alexander's ideal table

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Finds a solution to a problem that doesn't involve killing. Often monsters are just creatures trying to live in their environment

My table is not the place for...

Hard number crunching
