About Mason

Hello there, I am Mason and I have been playing ttrpgs since 2000. My dad bougtht me the d&d 3.5 players handbook, 2 sets of dice in an old Crown Royal bag and sent me into the world of fantasy. Since then I have played and GM'd Dungeons and Dragons, Shadowrun, Daggerheart and most Recently Vampire the Masquerade with my friends locally. Looking to move onto the online scene and make more friends to play games with.

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I like forming and telling stories with people and love to see them come together to shape those stories.

I got started GMing...

For my friends in Middle and High School in the mid to early 2000s. We started with D&D 3.5 and then transitioned to 5e but I've also run a couple Shadowrun 5e and VTM 5e games since then.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Theory crafting characters, working on story settings or playing rpg video games.

How Mason runs games

I used to be all about the combat when I started but now I really love good roleplay. Don't get me wrong I still like dynamic combat but I feel that the story my players tell in between the fighting and during downtime is so much sweeter.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

First hearing what the players have to say and then what the rule actually is before making a ruling. However, rule of cool trumps all.

My favorite trope is...

The Redemption Arc.

My games focus on...

Roleplay first and combat second, depending on the system of course.

Mason's ideal table

I like smaller groups of about 5 - 6 players and I like when they contribute to the game world. I like feedback on games and love out of the box thinking or tactics that make me have to rethink things and change stuff on the fly. I'm a good improviser.
