About me

Hello There! You can call me many different things! Gallant, Commander Hellreaper, Morgan LePenguin, Jayden, and more! I have been GMing for the past 5 years running multiple Campaigns! Namely, I am running a Star Wars Alternate Universe using the Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight Games/Edge Studios. I own all three Core Rulebooks and all of the Sourcebooks. I run my games on Foundry VTT, using a Discord Server to talk with players. I have Wednesday through Sunday available for running games. When I run my games, I run them with the themes of the universe in question. Trying to create an experience being both unique while still being true to the feeling of the system/universe. I enjoy allowing my players to shape the Campaigns with their decisions. Allowing the players free will (but certainly not free from consequences!). Being open to discussion to find compromise whenever issues arrive. I like to give my games a feeling of being lived in. Using Worldbuilding to make the world feel real. Giving each NPC their own personalities. I like to use skills I've learned in writing fiction to help players feel connected to the game world. I hope you consider me for your games! And I am excited to share the experience of these games with you!

GM Style

I absolutely love giving my NPCs a very human feel to their personality but I don't shy away from exaggerating it to mix things up a bit. I enjoy deeply detailed worlds and histories and cultures. But the thing I love most is when players become interested in what is happening both in the world around them and between them!

Gallant is a great DM that sets the mood well with fitting music and wonderful scene descriptions. He gives all the players moments to feel special, and makes sure his players feel like a group. He's great with rp, with every npc feeling different and unique even if he doesn't have the widest variety of voices. Gallant gives his players ample time to rp amongst each other and even rewards them for it, with the first two sessions I had with him being mainly rp and it was some of the most fun I've ever had. He lets his players rp problems, letting us work them out and solve it in character. He's also great with combat, making sure it never feels stale by letting us describe our attacks. He also makes sure to describe how the enemies attack us, which have lead to some really suspenseful moments. One of the most important things is that he makes sure all his players feel safe and included, by making a very welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

Been in this person's game for a few months, and there have been loads of jokes, comradery, banter. If there are issues within the table we talk about it. There are reasonable etiquette rules. The community if fantastic and this alternate universe is so much fun to play around in. I highly recommend trying out a few games. He is a great storyteller, facilitater of his pc's more erratic plans

They are an awesome game master, I truly recommend them. they are very flexible and willing to homebrew if needed but also willing to help you find something in rules as written to fit your character. ensures players all get a chance to shine and extremely friendly and kind!

Great GM. Organized and methodical, eliminating any chaos around a 'table' very well, while still having the game flow. Allows for --lots-- of PC creativity! Super nice. I can't wait to see what the next session brings!
