My name is Lloyd (aka, Augur), and I am an experienced game master with a passion for creating immersive and exciting tabletop gaming experiences.

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.

writing for those games. When you have more than half a dozen campaign groups running monthly, it's what you do if you care about delivering quality.

How Augur (Lloyd) runs games

💖 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.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

delegating to someone the rules look-up while we continue playing. Conflicts or ambiguities I house rule on the fly & record if it's likely to surface again.

Augur (Lloyd)'s ideal table

My ideal table is 5 players who have all played with each other for a couple years in the same medium. I can accommodate most kinds of player types, but I don't like min-maxing as it nearly always comes at the cost of good character writing. My general table vibe is friendly & relaxed, but ordered.
