About Braden

Hi, I'm Braden (He/Him) and I have been playing TTRPGs ever since I started playing 4th Edition D&D in middle school and I have continued playing various systems well into my adult life. From there I have played/run D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Various Forged In The Dark Games, and Various Powered by The Apocalypse type games. I enjoy seeing players come up with out of the box uses for their powers and generally try to have villains who use their powers in unorthodox ways as well.

How Braden runs games

I enjoy tactical combat first and foremost. As such I do my best to provide an interesting experience for my players through the use strange forms of hazardous terrain and unorthodox enemy tactics. Roleplay marks a close second as a focus of mine and is the key thing that differentiates TTRPGs from traditional wargames. I like to provide players frequent chances to engage in RP if it suits them. Traditional puzzles are the parts of TTRPGs that interest me the least. Combat in the systems I run often feels like a puzzle already and as such I rarely use out of combat puzzles. The only type of puzzles that I do make frequent use of is things such as murder mysteries and trying to navigate complex political machinations.
