About Spud

My name is Luke Spangler, but most know me as Spud! I've been playing and running games since I was a teenager. Dungeons and Dragons of course was the gateway that led me to many wonderful sundry TTRPG's. There came a time when playing and running came very dry and I opened myself up to the journaling and card games, then finally found other people to play those games with. Playing was of course a strong itch, but slowly I felt the draw of the world behind the screen. Creating worlds and stories were already fun. But the thought of tailoring to the player's stoked mine. I love to "Yes, and." It is a game we are all playing together, but the story is uniquely ours.

How Spud runs games

As a GM my tenets are as follows: Roleplay. I love the game and the story. The game we all play, but the tale we determine together. Players are making the main characters, so I am just as invested in them. And I love to fill my world with buttons and dials, npcs and locations the players can play with. Hard, fun, and fair challenges. Whether in bloody combat or chase sequences or potion brewing, I create obstacles meant to be struggled against and overcome. Tone and theme flexible. Gritty noir? Low fantasy? Silly Billies? Whatever tone or theme the players agree on is what shall be delivered. Have a story or campaign structure you've wanted to explore? I'll be your guide.
