About Cog
Hey now! This is Cog, the Deadhead Dungeon Master! Are you looking for a DM who will use your backstory, ideals, and bonds for Inspiration to create customized experiences for your party? I am a roleplay enthusiast and enjoy all three pillars of play, (Combat, exploration, and Social Interaction.) If you are too, then we may be a match! (Especially if you like the opening act of "Terrapin Station, Lady with a fan!") I have been a DM/GM and a fan of the Grateful Dead for more than forty years. I have played every edition of D&D, along with some other systems. I have been hosting games via VTT and Discord Since 2020. I am having a blast! Get on the bus and travel to bizarre worlds and fantastic locations!

How Cog runs games
I love roleplaying! It is, after all, it's a roleplaying game! I try to mix Social Interactions, Exploration, and Combat in a way that is specific to the group. Background music is essential. While I do several voices, I am learning to broaden my styles.

I deal with rules issues by...
trying to determine the RAI (rules as intended) or, when that information is unavailable, using a reasonable answer.
Cog's ideal table
I most enjoy collaborating in a group that is creative and focused. Players add to the story through deep, immersive, role play. Be it in battle, investigation, or social interaction, players are emotionally resonant with the characters they portray.

I think min/maxing...
is fine. My table hosts a game of heroic high fantasy, after all!
