About Kalbi

Hey! I'm Kalbi, and I have been playing TTRPGs for over 20 years, and been a GM for around 12 of those. While I do get a bit of an itch to play form time to time, I mainly love to GM people through games. When it comes to my style. While I like to stick to RAW, I am not against it people getting creative with the rules. I prefer fun over strict rule adherence. However, there is a limit.

I became a GM because

I preferred to run games then be a player. When I was a player, i was always thinking on how to make the encounters better, how to tie in certain elements, flesh out NPCs better, etc. It eventually made me dislike playing, and GMing was just more fun for me.

How Kalbi runs games

I am very laissez-faire with my GM style, but it's to a degree. I know when to tighten the leash, and when to let it go. I like when myself and a player bounce off each other, both positive and negative criticism is good in my eyes. Roleplay and combat are my jam. I love acting scenes out, letting the players add things to the scene for me to interact with them, and all that like. Even in combat, monsters and NPCs will taunt the PCs as I look for interesting reactions. Even if I don't have a very good vocal range, I still love to give them voices. Combat allows me to think how the NPCs and monsters would react to situations in the game, and act accordingly. If a creature benefits from grouping up on one person, they will do it. If a NPC prefers duelling over group battle, they will do it.
