About James Paese
I've been Gm'ing for about 40 years now, and my favorite genre is Sword & Sorcery. I even published my own game, called, "Blood, Sweat & Steel". If you like Sword & Sorcery gaming, I do my best to provide the most authentic Sword & Sorcery experience you can find! I can run a number of game systems that work well for Sword & Sorcery gaming, like Blood, Sweat & Steel, Jaws of the Six Serpents, Fate, Fate Core, Barbarians of Lemuria, and By This Ax, to name a few. I'm trying to grow my community of fans for my game, Blood, Sweat & Steel, but I can run other systems for people too.

How James Paese runs games
I really love character-driven plots. I want the situations the Characters find themselves to actually matter to the Character, so I use their backgrounds and Character traits to develop plot hooks for the group to consider. I like to use vivid descriptions and I strive for deep immersion. But hey, it's tabletop roleplaying, so shenanigans will always be a part of the game as well. I strive to make action scenes like fights and chases as exciting as possible, and I try to do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to rules and mechanics. I want my players to just focus on playing their Characters.
