About GM Brian

Hi! I’m Brian, your cozy-chaos GM. 🎸🎲 I’m a musician at heart, which means my tables always carry a rhythm which often involve the goofy beat of laughter, even though sometimes it’s the dramatic swell of a rock ballad or an epic anime combat theme. I love games that feel like jamming with friends: part improv show, part fantasy adventure, part concert where everyone gets a solo in my games! I’m here for big feelings, bold choices, and the kind of table where laughter shows up early and sticks around. My games feel like movie night with friends: lots of banter, a dash of drama, and those little character moments that make you grin days later. I’m gentle with shy players, cheer on bold ideas, and love saying “yes, and…” to whatever you toss into the world. Expect puns, plot twists, music cues, and the occasional gasp followed by “okay, that was awesome.” I keep the spotlight moving so everyone gets a turn to shine, and I’m quick with reassurance if nerves kick in. The vibe? Playful, warm, collaborative, silly, and sometimes intense when the scene calls for it. Think: comfortable chairs, found-family energy, and a GM who celebrates your victories and turns your chaos into story gold. Bring your curiosity, your weirdest ideas, and your favorite snack. I’ll bring the hooks, the vibes, and the soundtracks. Let’s make memories you’ll brag about between sessions! Now tell me... what is your character's theme song? I can't wait to hear it in our next session! 😄

I became a GM because

The joy of collaborative storytelling. I love seeing a group of players create something unpredictable and fun together. For me, TTRPGs are about building a little community at the table where everyone’s choices matter and the story is shaped by the group.

I got started GMing...

because I was curious about TTRPGs and wanted to see things from the GM’s perspective. I quickly discovered that I love being behind the screen watching players take the little foundations I set up and turn them into something surprising and memorable.

How GM Brian runs games

All my games take place in a high fantasy setting with light-hearted, anime-inspired energy. Fast, flexible, story-first. I keep the game flowing with quick rulings, clear stakes, and scenes that spotlight your character. Choices matter - the world reacts, and each session builds on the last like chapters in a living novel. ### WHAT TO EXPECT ### 🎭 Improv that breathes: I riff off your ideas and weave them into the plot. ⚔️ Clean, engaging combat: Readable tactics, telegraphed threats, minimal rules drag. 🧭 Balanced pillars: Roleplay, exploration, and combat in satisfying proportion. 🎶 Right vibe, right now: Mostly fantasy music, foley, but with the occasional anime tune in between to set the tone. 🎙️ Light voice acting + FX: Flavor without pressure to perform. 🎲 Rule of Fun: If it keeps momentum and smiles, it flies. 🎸Tailored soundtracks: I will play your character's theme song when it's epic moment time. ### TABLE NORMS ### 🗺️ Pacing tools: I’ll swap between theatre-of-the-mind and tactical maps as the scene needs. 🧾 Session summaries: Quick recaps so everyone stays aligned. 🛡️ Safety first: Lines & Veils, open-door communication. Clear expectations, zero gotchas. ✨ Positive vibes: Collaborative, respectful table culture. New and veteran players welcome.

I prep by

reading your character sheets and past journals, weaving NPCs and locations you care about into the next session, tuning encounters to your party, and seeding treasure that fits your build and story.

My games focus on...

A balance between roleplay, combat, and exploration!

When it comes to voices

I don't take them or myself seriously, it's just for fun and laughs!

GM Brian's ideal table

My ideal table is made up of people who enjoy a good story and aren’t afraid to laugh at themselves along the way. I’m a musician at heart, so don’t be surprised if bits of rock and anime music sneak into the adventure, it’s all part of the fun atmosphere I want to create!
