About Blerdy

Howdy! I'm Blerdy Disposition, a Queer Black Game Master and Youtuber. As a game master, I focus on horror games, old school DnD, and narrative games. Specifically my game sessions focus on heavy roleplay, rule of cool, and player creativity! If you are interested in playing in a game focused on roleplay and player creativity then reach out or sign up for a game. I am also happy to work with players interested in a custom game suited for their schedule When I am not running or playing TTRPGs, I have a Youtube Channel focused on learning more about indie TTRPGs and my tips for players and game masters running games.

I became a GM because

for two different reasons. 1. I wanted to run games outside of Dungeons and Dragons 5th. The market is saturated with 5E and I wanted to run and play games outside of that. To do, I learned how to GM. 2. Wanted to support other Black and marginalized GMs and creatives via my GMing in TTRPGs.

How Blerdy runs games

Rule of Cool 😎 Roleplay Focused🎭 Theater of the Mind Focused 🎬 Story is Crafted Together Rather Than Long Backstories🌟 Ultimately I run character driven games that focus less on the rules and more on how players and their characters respond to actions in and outside of the game.

I deal with rules issues by...

asking what are the player's intentions. Communications is vital in TTRPGs. I ask directly: "What issue or concern are you having with this rule?" Then we discuss that after or before the game. From there, we rectify the issue by removing said rule or coming to an agreement amongst everyone.

I think metagaming...

is perfectly fine. The issue rises when a player actively uses that metagame knowledge and does not separate that from character knowledge. I address this by asking them to seperate the two when making decisions sometimes.
