About Gant
Heya! I'm Gant, a transfemme writer, amateur musician, and experienced storyteller with a character oriented, sandbox-y approach to games- I follow the old GM advice "write settings and situations, not stories". I believe in player agency and the creative strengths of improv, and I'm a passionate, if slightly sadistic storyteller who thrives best in systems that lean on gothic horror tropes (read: VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE). Don't worry though, like all good ST's, I want my players to succeed! I just want it to be earned with a little blood along the path. I am well versed in picking up groups online, and have a multi-stage application process for any game that filters the wierdos. I'm super open to players from all walks of life, but tend to form primarily queer groups, as they often have a unique perspective that will appreciate my styling of horror. While I appreciate patronage, please understand the payment for these games is to fund the time and effort I spend in developing dynamic worlds- NOT a free reign to play however you'd like. I try to be flexible, but I am a big believer in the ST's responsibility to keep a game safe and fun for the entire party, and do not tolerate people ruining the game for everyone else. That means no bigotry, no ERP) Overall- If you like stories that lay moral quandaries on the characters, short brutal combats, ultraviolence with (a LOT) of gore, worlds that are built up around the characters, and VAMPIRES VAMPIRES VAMPIRES then I'm probably the perfect ST for you.

How Gant runs games
A GM who prioritizes involved roleplay and player choice, but isn't afraid of system crunch and tactical thinking. I have experience with multiple systems that informs a blended playstyle that suits any player willing to put time and energy into the table. Although I like to be friendly, I also expect focus at my table, and discourage cross-talk and joke characters.
Gant's ideal table
My perfect players are above all invested. I like players who enjoy in character RP, but make decisions that are good for the story and table. My tables tend to be focused on mystery, complex character beats, and are deeply steeped in the theme and mood of a chronicle.

I am for a vibe that's...
Gothic, spooky, and unafraid to embrace the camp and ick factor of classic World of Darkness
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Personal horror, dramatic tension, and a blend of camp and edginess
My perfect party mix is
A notetaker, a story-driver, a system pro, and someone who gets invested in the other players' stories
