About Zackary R.

I'm a southern dad with a huge love for RPGs. I specialize in crafting immersive and dynamic experiences that blend role play with thrilling combat encounters. My campaigns are known for their depth and my players enjoy playing in a world shared between my other campaigns. I thrive on your enjoyment. I want to see you win and challenge you to do so. I live and breathe RPGs! I work hard to give visuals, build connected stories, and have an impressive VTT. My level of commitment and background work is insane.

I became a GM because

I truly enjoy the privilege of running. It is the greatest honor in the world to serve and entertain my players. Trusting me with their time is truly a gift.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

enthusiastic, immersive, and over-prepared. I often spend way too much time on my worlds. But of course, creative players can still get the best of me and bump into a good ten-second pause.. his name is “Shirt-pants McPerson!” Names of randoms are truly my only fault in matters of preparedness.

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

throwing these jokers together. I’m constantly evolving my VTT and building up my resources. I love character work, I ensure those around you in the world feel real and ALIVE!!

How Zackary R. runs games

Serious Fun is the name of my game. Deep RP and exciting combat! I adore a good dungeon crawl.. but love a massive city! I attempt plenty of voices. I try to always have a map of some kind, even if it’s blank and always ensure that I have character art. I use D&D Beyond and Foundry VTT.

I prep by

never stopping… It’s a mild joke but in third at least a part of my brain is always in one world or another plotting destruction.

My games focus on...

immersive world, often gritty and real, and destroying evil, sometimes really dark evil. But humor and bad to the bone stunts as well as budding friendships is how we’ll recover!

Rules are...

there to facilitate the story and set the inner bounds of combat but they are not final. The game will be whatever we make it through fair arbitration or by my all powerful and forceful decree. All jokes aside, they are there to build immersion, not ruin a good time.

Zackary R.'s ideal table

I generally run games for people from all walks of life, I promise you I can tolerate anyone and further, I can befriend anyone so long as the hold a high moral compass. I’ve run for a diverse bunch since the beginning, a long time ago. The bounds of our friendship will break at your behest and your tolerance. I do not like either political party and to certain folks that is a massive deal breaker. I’m sorry, much love, maybe in another life my friend. Further, I will not abide harmful actions and rhetoric toward the group. I entirely subscribe to the idea that as your social organizer I am, thus, the social leader and I will protect my people. Still yet further, I expect good morals, politeness, and respect among your peers. I will not however, accept political, religious, etc. pressure or watch you push it on anyone before, during, or after game time excluding character stuff.

I love it when a player

believes in their character so deeply that they get immersed and lose themselves. I love when a player really tries to believe in the world. Or better when they push their fellows deeper into immersion.

I think it's a red flag when players...

min/max or build edgelords that don’t want to join the party. The game is all about power fantasy, that manifest in all manner of ways but those two drive me bananas.
