About Jason Richardson

Hello, adventurers! My name is Jason Richardson, and I’ve been immersed in the world of RPGs for the past 40 years. Early on, it became clear that my friends weren’t keen on stepping into the GM role, so I took the reins—and I’ve been behind the screen ever since! With over four decades of experience as a Game Master, I bring a wealth of passion and creativity to every game. Beyond RPGs, I also hold a degree in Illustration, which often leads to players asking me to draw or paint their characters. My approach to games is highly visual, making my sessions immersive and cinematic. I thrive on crafting player-centric, narrative-driven stories that engage and excite. Let’s make some unforgettable adventures together—bring it on!

How Jason Richardson runs games

Fun Over Rules: While I value rules and accuracy, I believe the narrative always comes first. If bending the rules makes for a cooler story or more fun, I’ll gladly do it! My priority is creating an exciting and epic experience for everyone at the table. I love fast-paced, story-driven games that keep players at the centre of the action. That’s why City of Mist is my go-to system—it’s perfect for weaving together grand, player-driven narratives. Whether it’s high stakes or intimate character moments, I tailor the experience to suit the most engaged players. For me, it’s all about ensuring you have an incredible time!

Rules are...

They are there to guide and should be bent and sometimes broken for the story's sake.

Jason Richardson's ideal table

My perfect table would be around 4 players who are very invested in the setting and in their characters' backstories, players who want to encourage good manners and RPG moments in others. Players who can laugh when things are funny but also respect the tone of the game, for the most part.

I think metagaming...

Metagaming can be a problem. I would prefer the players not to take information learnt from one place and apply it elsewhere, but I understand mistakes are sometimes made.
