About Alan
Hey! My name is Alan and I am an aspiring writer and TTRPG nerd. The game I've played most is DnD 5e, ever since its release, and GMing for about half that time off and on. I have played at several other TTRPG tables, and have extensive system experience in games using the Powered by the Dark Engine (I.E. Blades in the Dark, Scum and Villainy), as well as Pathfinder 1E and Starfinder.

My favorite books are
I read a whole lot! Instead of listing all the books I love, I'll answer with authors I like - Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, Jeff Vandermeer, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Fonda Lee, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Naomi Novik are some of my recent loves.
How Alan runs games
I'm interested in running games that create powerful opportunities for players to roleplay with one another and myself, with combat only being used for high stakes situations. I do enjoy creating combats that have multiple objectives as well, and I treat my NPC's like real creatures - they will run away to fight again later if they can.
