About Shaughn

Hey! I have been a forever DM/GM since grade 10, and I am 28 now, so you can do the math there, haha. I love using all sorts of systems and learning new ones almost as much as teaching new people how to play (and praying that they want to DM/GM one day so I get to play). I am a very patient person who will always make time to make sure people feel included and get to have their own moments in the game.

How Shaughn runs games

I don't use storylines in my campaigns; instead, I use story points to guide people to these points,as opposed to forcing people into a linear path. I have found over the years that this is a much more fun and natural way to progress the story, and allows for the players to be freer in their choices and do whatever they want. I prefer longer sessions (4+ hours) as I find it helps people get more into their roles and enjoy the characters they make. I am usually more than happy to reward good roleplaying and will almost always reward a good backstory (this lets me include more of them into the story).
