I GM Palladium (Rifts, Heroes Unlimited) & AGE (The Expanse) game systems. Join my Discord Community: https://discord.gg/HgCKUwneaa Hello, and welcome to my StartPlaying.games profile! My name is Lloyd (aka, Augur), and I am an experienced game master with a passion for creating immersive and exciting tabletop gaming experiences. As a GM, I believe that the most important aspect of any game is creating a welcoming environment where everyone can feel comfortable and have fun. Please leave your IRL politics outside the game experience. I am always happy to work with players of all skill levels and backgrounds. My game style is focused on storytelling and creating memorable moments for my players. Whether you are a fan of epic battles, complex puzzles, or intricate character development, I am committed to crafting a game that meets your interests and engages your imagination. I am experienced in a variety of game systems, including The Expanse RPG, Rifts, Heroes Unlimited, Beyond the Supernatural, Robotech, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Palladium Fantasy, and some others. I am always eager to learn new games and settings. I am comfortable running both pre-made adventures and custom campaigns, and I am happy to work with players to create unique characters and storylines that fit their preferences and play styles. In addition to running games, I also believe in fostering a sense of community and connection among my players. I am always happy to answer questions, offer advice, and provide support outside of game sessions, and I love hearing about my players' creative ideas and experiences. Thank you for considering me as your GM on StartPlaying.games! I look forward to working with you and creating a fun and memorable gaming experience together. Vivere est militare
GM Style
💖 Pulse pounding suspense ⛰️ Breathtaking maps 🎻 Excellent soundtracks 🎵 Suspenseful ambiance I'm a veteran GM who's very narrative flexible, player & player-character-focused, and motivated by the desire to have fun & entertain others. I might slip into a character voice from time to time. Players are encouraged to roleplay to whatever extent they feel comfortable. Voice acting is absolutely not required. The Palladium system lends itself to granular combat scenes, but isn't tactically complex like D&D5E. The AGE system lends itself to fast, cinematic gameplay with a heavy focus on roleplaying & narrative development.

Knows the Rules
Rock solid GM i went into a one-shot blind to the game never played it before i did not know the rules and he had me playing and having a great time in 5 minutes of logging his story telling made the time disappear and before i knew it the game was over and i didn't want to stop because i actually cared about the main characters of the story that being myself and the other players i would definitely play another game.
Really great GM, they did well managing a group for a one-shot and keeping the session running smoothly and ending on time- Where he really shines is story telling, reacting to player actions with descriptions that really painted a scene, alongside detailed visuals and effects. I could tell a lot of work went into setting up for this one-shot, much of which was unable to be really appreciated on account of time, highly recommend if you’re looking for an experienced GM.
Since joining one of Augur/Lloyd's games, I have come to look forward to an engaging, inclusive, and entertaining experience. Our Expanse RPG sessions are one of the highlights of my month, and he puts in a great deal of care and preparation to ensure that remains to be the case. Whether you're a novice or veteran gamer, you will find a welcoming community on his Discord server, where a number of reoccurring and one-shot games are hosted.
Excellent GM, very open and helpful with anyone new to the system or an experienced player who might've forgotten or misplaced a rule. I've enjoyed several of his paid games and am likely to stick around for the future. I also know him from a former pbp forum TTRPG game site he used to run called Explorers Unlimited.
