About Kerry Drake

I have been playing Roleplaying games for over 40 years starting with the original white box set of Dungeons and Dragons. My games are a mix of welcome laughter of group having a great time sprinkled with the gasps of that group wondering if they are going to live through the session. My games are not themed around being the biggest best most powerful <insert your character class> who has ever lived. I think the best games are with characters who have flaws and need to work around those flaws and are able to use those flaws to help with good roleplay.

How Kerry Drake runs games

I enjoy working a character's backstory into the plot of game. I love good roleplay, including roleplaying during combat. While not every combat might not have the potential to be lethal, combat one might very well use up enough resources to make combat two's potential to be lethal go up. I also believe players should expect to run into things they just can't handle and be smart enough to know that in this case they need to work to AVOID combat. I would expect, unless players were extremely lucky, that over the course of a campaign, it is not unreasonable to have one or maybe two characters end up dying.
