About SirWaltonOfSmeg

Name: SirWaltonOfSmeg Age: 35 Location: Midlands, UK Family: Husband, father of two girls Hobbies & Interests: Fantasy, RPGs, sports, and all things nerdy DM Philosophy: Fun First: My games are about creating memorable stories and having a laugh. Rules exist to guide the game, but the story and enjoyment always take priority. Creativity Rewarded: Players who bring flair, great descriptions, and cinematic moments to the table earn inspiration or other in-game rewards. Blend of RAW & Homebrew: I use official sourcebooks as a foundation but love incorporating homebrew content to fit my world and players’ ideas. Roleplay Encouraged: Whether you're a seasoned actor or just dipping your toes into character development, I support roleplay with engaging NPCs and immersive storytelling. Game Style: Narrative-Driven Adventures: While I enjoy a good tactical combat, my games shine when players engage with the world and each other. A Mix of Serious & Silly: Expect epic quests and deep lore alongside moments of pure chaos and humour. Dynamic Encounters: Enemies act with intelligence, terrain matters, and players are encouraged to think outside the box. Preferred Settings & Systems: D&D 5e: My go-to, with a mix of official modules and homebrew campaigns. Homebrew Worlds: I love building unique settings tailored to my players’ choices. Other RPGs: Open to running different systems like Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, or Cyberpunk RED. Table Rules & Expectations: Respect the Table: Everyone’s here to have fun. Be kind, be fair, and let everyone have their moment. Engage with the World: The more you interact, the more alive the game becomes. Rule of Cool: If you have an idea that sounds awesome, let’s make it happen (within reason). Teamwork Over PvP: I love inter-party conflict for storytelling, but outright betrayal isn't my style unless everyone is on board. Final Thoughts: Whether you're a dice-rolling veteran or brand new to TTRPGs, I strive to make my games a place where imagination thrives, stories unfold, and everyone leaves the table with a tale to tell.

How SirWaltonOfSmeg runs games

My DM style is all about storytelling, player creativity, and making sure everyone has a great time at the table. I run games where fun comes first, encouraging players to think outside the box and bring their characters to life with flair and description—extra effort often earns in-game rewards. I balance structured encounters with room for improvisation, blending official sourcebooks with homebrew elements to keep things fresh and unpredictable. My worlds are immersive, my NPCs have depth, and my encounters are designed to challenge both strategy and roleplay. I believe in the rule of cool, adapting the game to enhance the story rather than letting mechanics get in the way of a great moment. Whether it’s a dramatic duel, a ridiculous bit of banter, or an epic battle with world-altering stakes, I aim to create a space where players feel invested, engaged, and eager for the next session.
