About Adalbear

Well met, adventurer! I'm Adalbear, but my friends call me Bear. I've been telling stories since I was a kid, and doing it through games and dice. I have taken that passion for stories and shiny math rocks to the extreme and began GMing weekly games about 11 years ago; haven't looked back since.

My favorite shows/movies are

One Piece, The Good Place, Schitt's Creek, and Firefly are in regular rotation as far as shows. When it comes to movies it really depends on the season. For the last year or so it has been Sinners.

My favorite system of all Time is

Pathfinder Second Edition! The rules! THREE ACTIONS! Ugh I love it.

How Adalbear runs games

My style of GMing is that of an ex theater kid, I'll give you voices and sincere rp that will give you unique NPCs and companions to interact with. On top of that, I am obsessed with music and ambience. I truly love spending hours scouring royalty free music sites trying to find the right tracks. And when I can't find it royalty free, I have that covered too thanks to Monument Studios. Your moments will feel big, your actions will have meaning, and your words will carry weight in the stories we tell. Combat will be more than just hitting the enemies until they stop hitting you. I love crafting various objectives and obstacles in combat scenes. Also, not all combat will end in death. Most living creatures want to stay that way, and I believe that would remain true in a fantasy world as well.

My games focus on...

Player choices. You collectively are the main characters, and your actions will shape the very stories we tell. Every action will have consequences, and the world will bend to your will!

When it comes to voices

I've got them all. I'm a tengu in a human suit and can actually alter my vocal chords to do some weird stuff...I've also got a voice changer for when that doesn't work.

Adalbear's ideal table

Above the table I'm all about community connections, curating safe spaces for those who may not have many, and having fun. Whether a new player, a veteran, or returning after some time away you are welcome at my table.

I think min/maxing...

Is a way that some folks have fun. And as long as it is not impeding anyone else's enjoyment of the game, min/max away!

My table is not the place for...

Biggotry or hatred in any form. That includes racism (whether "fantasy" or otherwise), xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, etc.
