How Darius Moonbow runs games

I am fair-minded and fun loving. Gaming is about the experience and the shared memories more than the rules. If you desire to have fun and play regular games this is the place for you!

I deal with rules issues by...

Either hearing players out or asking for the information or source.

Rules are...

Firm but fair, I am most interested in everyone enjoying themselves and knowing the rules are followed.

When it comes to voices

Darius Moonbow's ideal table

These adventures and campaigns are designed to be fun, exciting, and fair. The rules are to give guiderails and substance to the story we are weaving together. The key to this is keeping things moving and offering room for each player to grow and express themselves. In general I like to work together weaving stories rather than just narrating a plot and throwing monsters at players. I am best when offered enough room to build images and stories in the theater of the mind before the nuts and bolts of combat. Every player should leave me table feeling both satiated and excited. Emotion and adrenaline mixed with dynamic commentary.

I am for a vibe that's...

leaves people absolutely free to express themselves through the story.

I love it when a player

builds real backstories and takes the time to explore the fullness of the Characters they create to be their 'personas'

My perfect party mix is

is one filled with both seriousness and a splash of humor. The stories can be dark, but their is no reason parties can't shine light as well. The only party that matters is the one you build together.
