I got started GMing...

because I had to, out of necessity and curiosity. And since then, I'm happily stuck in the role as a "Concierge du imagination", master of the imagination, host of the fantastic, leader of dreams. I love to be in the role of the game master and prefer it set the stage rather for my fellow players.

How Alex Spielrebell runs games

As a GM, I focus on experiences with a high level of player agency in two ways: players are free to act and never encounter a fixed path on the road to adventure, and the game world evolves dynamically around the characters, as players are invited to take part in the storytelling. Conflicts of all kinds (not just combat) and moral dilemmas, suspense and mystery are my ingredients for a perfect game night.

Rules are...

necessary, but come second after anything that makes the story great and the players engaged at the table. I prefer the term "guidelines" over "rules".

I love it when a player

comes up with a good idea that surprises the group as much as me, and I definitely include it in the story. Does it change the planned flow? Great, let's explore together where this leads us...
