About Cain Laurant

Hello! I'm Cain, and I have been DMing for over 10 years now. I love to tell player's stories and help them experience a fun adventure driven by their choices! One of my games is currently mentioned on RPGBot's Podcast, as one of the host's recounts his tales! All games are LGBT Friendly and a welcome space for all! My experience with TTRPGs began with Pathfinder all the way back in high school, and the love for the genre and leading people on daring quests has only grown ever since. I would be honored to be the one to lead you on a journey where you forge new friendships, leave lasting memories, and overcome hardships. You may even learn more about yourself on the road ahead.

How Cain Laurant runs games

My style is that of Story. Of actions and consequences. My style is one where you can get lost for hours in Roleplay with each other, or with various NPCs who are given unique and enjoyable voices, breathing life into the world that your characters inhabit and explore. My table is one where combat might not be many, but the combat that happens is impactful, requiring you to work together to overcome the obstacles ahead.

I deal with rules issues by...

listening to the voices and ideas of the other players on how to resolve this, though I have the final say as DM. If players are confused, I do what I can to try and help them understand, especially if it's a common misunderstanding.

My games focus on...

immersive games that are shaped by the player's desires and backstories. I do my best to bring to life the ideas of my players and play into whatever story beats they want, delving deep into internal conflicts and morally gray choices.

Rules are...

a guidelines to go by. Sometimes the creators and balancers of games overlook things, and we need to find solutions to these issues together. Sometimes interpretations for things are different, and that's ok!

Cain Laurant's ideal table

An ideal table for me would be one where everyone can bring their ideas to life. Where you can forge a bond between each other and the DM that brings memories to come. A table where every player's voice is welcome. My ideal table would be one where everyone desires to delve deep into the creative side of their mind, delving deep into the Roleplay and crafting worlds together; while also coming together above table to share in victory, cry in defeat, and foster a friendly environment! My ideal table would be one where when issues arise between players or the DM, be it for difference of playstyles or miscommunications, we are able to speak to each other with level heads and work towards a resolution that helps everyone.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

really cheers the other players on. I love it when players are able to not just get invested in their own story, but the story of others and share in the joy of the success of others.

I think it's a red flag when players...

do not work together to resolve conflict, be it above table or during session. We are all able to talk and come to an understanding, but if one person stonewalls the other, there is no way to bring a peaceful resolution due to unwillingness.

My table is not the place for...

people who want to be lone wolfs above table. My table is not a place for players who do not desire to work with each other to tell a wonderful story, or who spurn others for their differences.
