About Lazarus

I have been a player for years and GM'ed for friends in the past, but its time to expand my skills. I love to write and develop all sorts of convoluted stories with the intent to hook players, and keep them fed off of what I would hope be fun sessions. The goal is to aim for long term campaigns.

How Lazarus runs games

A balance between roleplaying and combat, with a bit more emphasis on roleplaying. When it comes to combat, I understand that it isn't everyone's cup of tea, or that sometimes it can drag on if not properly planned and tailored. Based on how players handle combat, I will tailor it accordingly in order to make it a better and more fun experience. As a side note, I do use 3d map making tools, so that does add even more tactical combat experiences. Regarding roleplay, I work with each player on their backstory and flesh it out as much as they would like. From the player's backstory, we will create NPCs which can be introduced later in the campaign to add extra plot hooks to spice things up, and to also give each player an opportunity to shine in the spotlight. The world that I create and write is a fully fleshed out sandbox adventure. I am not a fan of railroading, so the world is your oyster, go whatever direction you want. Lastly, I encourage player to player roleplaying, BUT, people have boundaries that need to be observed and consent needs to be given in certain circumstances. I do not have patience for players who want to cause problems and do not follow the rules

Lazarus's ideal table

Players who really lean into roleplaying will have the best time. I want to create a world which rewards solid characters and interactions, this lets the players shape the world and story. Folks who like combat will also get their fun in the sun, I try to tailor to meet the needs of the players.
