About Arthur
I'm a substitute teacher and amateur game designer and gamemaster. I've been playing tabletop RPGs since high school, starting with Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition before learning the ropes of other games. I have extensive experience playing and running D&D (3e, 4e, 5e), Call of Cthulhu (7th edition), and the ALIEN Roleplaying Game, though I've tried many other games as well. As a gamemaster I pride myself on being flexible and enjoying player input: if a player comes up with a novel solution, character, or scene idea, I'm almost always willing to give it a go even if it's not what I planned or what the rules explicitly endorse. I also put *a lot* of work into prepping and enjoy making custom handouts and house rules.

How Arthur runs games
I am a story-heavy GM who loves to craft interesting stories with choices and branching paths for players. Although I put a lot of prep work into my games, I also enjoy bouncing ideas off of my players and have more than once created new NPCs or rules to accomodate a player's ideas or interests. My number one rule is that all of us should have fun, not me. Recently, I've been trying to learn better how to use virtual tabletop tools like Foundry VTT.
