About Noel
I'm a longtime tabletop gamer, having played the Heroclix miniatures game for 10+ years, followed by another 10 years of modern board games, and 5 years of TTRPG's. My favorite systems are narrative in nature, especially PBtA games, such as Root, Masks, and offshoots like Brindlewood Bay. I'm a big fan of the Quinn's Quest YouTube channel, so I'll likely try my hand at Slugblaster and Stonetop someday soon.

I got started GMing...
after playing in a fun Star Trek Adventures game. I was inspired to tell my own stories with players, and successfully ran 4 seasons (40+ sessions!) with the same core group. I've since explored the collaborative storytelling possibilties provided by PBtA games like Root and Masks.
My favorite system of all Time is
Powered by the Apocolypse, specifically Root! That's what brought me here!
How Noel runs games
FNR captures my ethos as a GM: Fiction, Not Rules. That's not to say that rules don't matter, but for me, the rules should be in service of the fiction we're creating and not the other way around. In my games, the players come first, and that means honoring the story we're creating together. So if you enjoying playing to find out what happens, you'll feel right at home in my games!
Noel's ideal table
I like making people feel as comfortable as possible. I enjoy a mix of novices and experienced players where everyone has a chance to shine. Mindful players, those who are aware that the spotlight is to be shared, are my favorite kind of players. The vibe is best described as relaxed. I never want a player to feel overwhelmed, so I do what I can to make everything as stress free and engaging as possible.
