About Jamie Lawler
I've been GMing for 5 years, across a range of systems (particularly 5E, Shadowdark and Mothership). I've run long campaigns, short arcs and plenty of one shots. I love games as a way to indulge in imagination, mystery, and tension. I gravitate towards games in the OSR style, and particularly value giving players true choice and rewards for ingenuity.

How Jamie Lawler runs games
For D&D and games in a similar style, I enjoy a good mix of the three pillars - combat, exploration, and social. I typically have slightly fewer social encounters and more emphasis on exploration than average. I prefer combat to be threatening, at least at the early stages of the game, and (particularly outside of 5E) subscribe to the view of "combat as war" rather than "combat at sport". I prioritise giving players choice within the world, and a sense of empowerment.
