About Arthur

I have been playing and running tabletop RPGs since 1980, especially Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Runequest, and Dreampark. I am a 5-star rated Pathfinder GM and was the U.S. West Regional Coordinator for the D&D Adventurers League (5e). I have run thousands of hours of games, both in organized play, from modules and adventure paths, and in my own homebrew campaign, both in person and online. I prefer to use Roll20 for online gaming.

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I enjoy coming up with campaign worlds and adventures, roleplaying NPCs, and the level of engagement and interaction with the players.

I got started GMing...

in 7th grade in 1980, playing the original blue box edition of Dungeons and Dragons!

My favorite system of all Time is

Dungeons and Dragons (5e and 3.5) and Pathfinder (1 e), but I also enjoy Runequest, Ars Magica, Dream Park, Rolemaster, and FASA's Star Trek, and Stars Without Number.

How Arthur runs games

I love to run games for players who like to roleplay at least a little. I tend to be a rules lawyer, perhaps because my day job is as a lawyer. However, I use a few homebrew rules to make games run smoothly. I especially like to run games for beginners and newbies to systems. I like to run sandbox games and dungeon crawls.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

making a spot ruling, deferring a conversation until after the game, looking up the rule between sessions, and clarifying the rule at the start of the next session.

Rules are...

an important framework that guides the game and helps players make decisions about their characters' actions.

When it comes to voices

I sometimes do NPC voices, and I love when players do character voices!
