About Lloyd

Hi! I'm Lloyd. A long time player, and even longer time GM. I love blending mechanics and storytelling, and despite what others might say, I will never grow out of make believe! I grew up running ttrpgs as a way to transition from childhood pretend, and have never grown out of it - I continue to get more and more attached. I love the community and platform for vulnerability ttrpgs provide, and can't wait to share this space with you! Zero tolerance for sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or fascist rhetoric.

How Lloyd runs games

When planning a session, I like to give it my all. Personally, I have a slight preference towards roleplay and story elements over combat, however, that does not mean I don't enjoy running crunchier, tactical, or roleplay focused combat encounters. In my experience, the most rewarding part of GMing is having the opportunity to challenge myself with creating, novel, fun, and entertaining encounters as well as figuring out how to best challenge player characters; be it through combat, story, or confrontation of beliefs.
