I'm a TTRPG YouTuber with over 15 years of GMing experience. I've streamed with Onyx Path Publishing, Dork Tales, and Occultists Anonymous. I write community content on Storyteller's Vault and Storypath Nexus. My specialty is teaching people new TTRPG systems.

Running a TTRPG YouTube page called the Awkward GM Corbin. Occasionally I will write community content for my favorite games.

Severance, Knives Out, The Cube, Red Dwarf, Stargate, Star Trek, Supernatural, and so much more.

Asking players at the end of a session what they are planning to do next session so I can prepare for it.

Where the player character's mother was the villian orchestrating crises for the character to resolve so he'd get promoted. The player was torn on what to do.

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

West Marches games are typically ran as “drop-in / drop-out” campaigns,  where a pool of players hop into sessions as they are available or as sessions align with their schedules. These games focus on a player-led story and exploration, with each session acting as a self contained adventure, allowing for players to experience a variety of stories within an overarching campaign.

In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.
