I got started GMing...

When the table GM got tired of running and said "one of you has to"

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

Diabolical, Creative, Comedic

When I'm not running games I'm...

Teaching game design, coding, robotics. Foraging in forests. Baking strange desserts. Pondering existence.

How Plasmodeus runs games

I love a well-told story where players matter as much as the world. Every campaign starts with drama and ends with comedy, but everything in-between is up to the players. I've found myself frequently in the 'cozy horror' category; I love depicting scenes where players can sit down and enjoy a meal together as much as describing unknowable eldritch abominations. I enjoy an organic method of feeling out the pacing to see when the story is ready for a downbeat of atmosphere and vibes or is ready to ramp up with cinematic action.

I deal with rules issues by...

Discuss, consult the rulebook if needed, reach consensus or make something up.

Plasmodeus's ideal table

People that enjoy company, darkly lit, in a dungeon. A sense of humor and humanity is essential, people who care to explore themes that make you feel something and show a part of yourself. Storytellers of any caliber are welcomed and encouraged, anyone seeking growth and challenge in addition to winding and unwinding with friends.

I love it when a player

Sets a building on fire

I think metagaming...

Is fine if it doesn't bog down the momentum or absolutely corrupt the narrative.

I think min/maxing...

make a character as broken as you want, just don't leave other players feeling left out by overperforming.
