About me

I'm a second generation game master. I have run games in person, on zoom and at small conventions all over the east coast. Most of my experience is in indie games but will run COC and other TRPGS as well. My games are character focused with high emphasis on player interaction and fun. I attempt to find solid middle ground between the rules that I'm running and story we are telling together. Game modules are usually home brew or existing with a few changes made to throw off people. My goal is to make sure everyone has a good time and enjoy our time together.

GM Style

My GM style is player interaction focused, while I'm capable of number crunching moments that's not the ideal style for my games. The characters are the focus, the good and the bad it's what brings meaning to the story. I react to what the players give me and build the world around them. Instead of focusing on world maps, I spend a lot more time on people they meet along the way. So if you enjoy a more flexible atmosphere for a game then I am the GM for you.

Brian Auxier's game mastering is truly a unique experience. From the moment you start, you're captivated by his wacky exposition and intricate world-building that'll leave you grinning at its delightful oddities. As a beginner, I felt immediately at ease, thanks to his friendly and relaxed demeanor. We dove deep into roleplaying, which made the entire experience even more immersive. If you're into roleplaying or are just starting out in the world of tabletop RPGs, Brian Auxier is the GM you'll want guiding your adventure.

I have participated in a number of games with Brian over the years and he is always a fun GM. He knows the rules well and keeps the book ready and bookmarked for reference. He is good with going back and forth between parties/players as needed and making sure everyone is able to participate as equally as possible. He talks clearly and is easy to understand.

Brian is always on time and ready to play. He allows conversation and discussions and is not heavy handed about being in charge. He plays multiple systems so you can try a few and he can be creative when he runs up on something he is not familiar with. It happens with a new system. I’ve been playing games with Brian for over 2 years, I didn’t know him before but I’m happy that we’ve become friends and will continue playing games for years to come.

Brian is well prepared and thoughtful to his player's needs. He is great at storytelling, world building, creating PCs, and unique situations on the fly. I highly recommend him.
