About Larkins

Greetings to all, feel welcome to join us around the campfire. We will construct, animate and live in our own made-up world. My job is to describe your surroundings and their reactions to your actions and dialogues. Hop in, dare to try something new with worn old parts, pop culture references and a bit of acting. It's going to be a wild ride, we will fear, laugh, hesitate; whatever fate throws at you we will face it together, united, unbreakable. I can't wait to see what this world hides, what evils we will seek and defeat, what mysteries we will uncover. Watch my 6, I got yours. Now let's ride pedal to the metal, enjoy the ride and let's try to squeeze a liiiiiitle more juice out of that shitty reality we all seek to escape from. It's warm around our fire and there is a cozy spot just for you! DMnote: I have played a variety of systems through my 36 years of experience with all types of players and DMs. I started DMing when I was 16 and still do so to this day. I focus on character and situation development, my world states back at your Party. We use a mix of roleplay, tactics, combat and all mechanics that fit a fast paced but detailed game that we build together. I enjoy collaboration, flawed characters, sticky situations and great triumphs over trivial things. Every single situation in any of my scenario can be resolved by: sneaking, talking, technical skills, combat and or elaborate heists. You make your game within my game, we make my world ours. Welcome saï!

I got started GMing...

When I was 11, 35 years ago. Mainly because, at first, we had nobody else to do it. Since then it became an addiction to customize and adapt worlds to my player's style.

My favorite books are

The Dark Tower series, LOTR, WH40K, 2000AD, American comics, Classic D&D, Shadowrun, etc

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

Teaching French and/or English. I started as a military instructor in 2007 through 2015. Then as a public Elementary/high school teacher from 2018 to 2025. I am now joining both passions as I teach French to military personnel from home. I like to cozy up with my wife and my silly cat Salsito.

How Larkins runs games

I'm a balanced Rolemaster that enjoys adapting his world and objectives to your tastes and talents. The characters come first, the team is the focus in the backdrop of the story. Situations are always fluid, the world changes as you change it. Act kindly and you will be supported by the people around or the opposite. Players choose their paths in an open world full of weird, flawed but interesting characters embroiled in all kinds of shenanigans. I enjoy roleplay first, speaking like your character, not about him. I expect my teams to be courteous and professional at all times. I do my homework and come prepared, I cannot answer everything right away but I do come back with answers at all times. I mix roleplay with tactics, combat or both. We can sneak around everything or go right through it hack and slash style; I enjoy it all! I want to spend a quality session with you guys, the type of game that gets you to sigh in relief and happiness after every session, making us all crave our next meeting. It is a blessing for me to give birth to whole universes I tend to with my collaborators. Hop in, I dare ya! ;)

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

It all depends on the party, we can be tactical with a slow but deliberate pace. We can be high energy and more comedy oriented and relaxed. There are no wrong playstyle just players that fit better or worst than others. I like Mike Flanagan, Carpenter, Rodriguez , Miller, King, Terry Gilliam etc

I prep by

Creating complex settings and characters that have clear motivations. These situations are a sandbox in which characters decide how they will play this time: talk, sneak, fight, use technology or all of it in the perfect heist? I'm ready for my world to react and unfold in a logical manner.

My games focus on...

Your reactions and actions mold the world around you. I want my players to interact amongst themselves in a significant way so they can develop team dynamics. I want us to unfold the story together and I let YOU choose how to realize objectives in any way you see fit within the limits of the world

Larkins's ideal table

A respectful party that shares the light and collaborates. Take your time, prepare, talk it out. If anything happens and you can't figure it out we vote or you fight using Rock, Paper, Scissors. I like it when flawed characters outdo each other by helping each other out and triumph over evil together. I'm a sucker for the underdog, I enjoy when a team of scrappy players win in a creative way I hadn't foreseen. Having a good time together while impersonating complex and interesting living and breathing people in a realistic but fantastic setting is my favorite.

I am for a vibe that's...

Shared by all in the party. I enjoy creepy horror games where you can die from mundane elements like in real life but I also enjoy action heavy cinematic games. It's all about having the right people playing the game together and giving as we entend it. I play comedic, fantasy, horror, action etc

I love it when a player

Helps out another player. When they ask politely for the silent player's approval or suggestions. I enjoy synergy, people working together, creating awesome memories and developing their world at their own pace.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Are impolite out of game, cut each other off intently, steal from each other or fight for loot. I don't like munchkins when it's not an heroic overpowered setting. When players are having emotional outbursts it kills the mood. You can take time off to process but others are not always responsible.
