About Crusty

Living in a small ski town in the Canadian Rockies, I began running games like most people - with small groups of inconsistent friends and constant cancelations. Throughout the years of playing various TTRPG's I found myself obsessed with telling stories of High Fantasy, Horror and Mystery. Two years ago, my town was devastated by a wildfire, burning over half of the town to the ground. Being displaced for months, loosing employment, and eventually moving back to my destroyed town, I started hosting games on StartPlaying as a source of income. Over the last two years, having run numerous long term campaigns, I've moved into being a (nearly) full time DM.

Featured Prompts

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

D&D, Lancer, and Savage Worlds

My favorite system of all Time is

ICON - a post-post apocalyptic setting where you play as treasure hunters looking for relics of the past. It's still in development from the creators of Lancer, but I can't wait for its full release

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

Snowboarding, backpacking, mountain biking.

How Crusty runs games

Big on character driven narrative and roleplay, I believe that if the players don't have agency with the story they won't have reason to interact with it. I love tying in different backstory elements with the ongoing story and connecting players to each other in session through gameplay.

Featured Prompts

My favorite trope is...

Evil people doing bad things to save the ones they love.

My games focus on...

Solving mysteries and rolling with the punches.

Rules are...

mechanical advice on how to handle situations

Crusty's ideal table

I create a space for a lot of open roleplaying scenario's. If you like to get into character, act amongst your fellow party members, and solve mysteries - there will be a lot of content to dive into.
