About Patrik

Hi, I’m Patrik Olterman. When it comes to TTRPGs I am most definately a Grognard. I started my TTRPG journey back in 1984 with the very first edition of Drakar & Demoner (today known as DragonBane), and ever since then - I can't believe it's been over 40 years - I’ve been firmly seated behind the GM screen—always the storyteller, never the player. I have run more campaigns than I can count over the years in more systems than I care to remember. I am comfortable with most rules systems and campaign settings. I homebrew a lot of rules and will always make sure the group understands what rules have been modified/altered. It is more important to find a narrative-rules balance that foster a good group dynamic and entertaining experiences than to be tied down to a specific rule set. Therefore I favor narrative over rules, and I run relaxed campaigns and one-shots where the focus is on story, laughter, and having a good time. My style leans into mirth and mayhem, because at the end of the day, having fun together will always matter more than following every rule to the letter. While I am comfortable exploring most topics in game I do not tolerate any expressed OOC racism, sexism or bigotry around my table. And it is only welcome IC if it is a topic that the players have agreed to explore at a session zero.
