About Frederick Adler

I am a big fan of your classic high fantasy but also someone who grew up in the world of classic and musical theater. I studied English and theatre in college and build my worlds based on a core principle of story creation. The rules of DnD provide us a structure through which to create such a story, but nothing should take president over it. My tables provide an immersive world of character driven outcomes. I am there to create what your actions demand not to demand what your actions create.

I got started GMing...

Because I couldn’t find a game that embraced the modern enthusiasm for pushing boundaries with a love of the OG vibes of high fantasy and world building

My favorite books are

Eragon, Harry Potter, Ender’s Game, Great Gatsby

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Collaborative, hard working, and fair

How Frederick Adler runs games

RP heavy, story driven. I reward unexpected actions and hate when combat with rigid set up is all that happens. There will be combat and it will be level appropriate (ie. A challenge), but what I aim for is a true world building campaign that you think about long after it is gone.

Frederick Adler's ideal table

Players who embrace their characters and ply accordingly, anti-heroes welcome as long as the goal is collaborative story telling.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Takes risks and embraces their ark

My perfect party mix is

Plot hounds, chaos agents, and above all, all committed to respect each other and the common goal of a great story

My table is not the place for...

Power gamers or main character energy. Everyone at the table matters to the story and I will make sure that every gets airtime (as much as they feel comfortable with, but ensuring it’s a space they don’t feel pressure to yield the time they want).
