About Beardy

I have been GM'ing and running various TTRPGs for 28 years, including a long running campaign in my own home brew setting. I'm comfortable with D&D 3.5, Pathfinder 1e, Dark Heresy, Mutants and Masterminds, Star wars (Revised Core and Saga), and a handful of others. I believe the most important part of being a GM is making sure everyone at the table is having a blast, and that we all get to shine. Always happy to homebrew / houserule things and work with players to get the experience they're looking for.

How Beardy runs games

I prefer to run balanced RP/Combat sessions that employ lots of choice and decision making on the part of the players. I tend to create lots of NPCs for the group to interact with, and love running well balanced combat encounters or dungeons with lots of interesting flavor. I typically add multiple 'side-quests' when running a canned adventure or throw in one or two extra NPCs to help flesh out a scene. I'm always happy to work with players outside of session as well, if they need assistance with character build or have a certain scene they'd like to have in game.
