I became a GM because
I really enjoy fostering and encouraging Player Character stories. The RPG experience comes to life when the Player sees their own stories make an impact on the world around them, and that's when it really becomes magic.
I got started GMing...
as an alternative to theatre! I love everything about acting and performing, on stage and off, but when I discovered that Vampire nerds were "onstage" every weekend at LARP for 3+ hours? I was hooked
How Jeremiah | The Direpug Storyteller runs games
-- The Three Golden Rules -- I believe that many rules of RPGs are inevitably broken, if not bent with abandon. However, in our games these 3 Rules will never be broken. 1. Respect the Player. Everyone here should be having a good time, and that begins with mutual respect. -e.g. Players make their own choices. Players are entitled to feel safe at all times. Players are to be treated as peers, if not better. Etc. 2. Respect the Party. Everyone has great fun individually, but we must also consider the fun of the group. -e.g. Players must consent to shared goals for the purpose of the Story. Players must include other Players where they can in good faith. Players must make character decisions that can remain compatible with the other Players and Story. Etc. 3. Respect the Storyteller. The Storteller (me) does a lot behind the scenes and do my best to follow the spirit of the core rulebook, so please engage with my rulings and policies in good faith. -e.g. While the Storyteller is still a Player, they must interpret both the Rules and Story all Players are trying to interact with. Lying or tricking the Storyteller services no one; we're on the same team! Communicate issues or obstacles ahead of time, wherever possible. Etc *** I like to run two types of games, generally speaking, Adventure Stories and Social Mystery Stories. Respectively, my favorite systems to utilize these game types are Pathfinder and Daggerheart. ***

I deal with rules issues by...
if someone is unfamiliar with the rules, we can roll with what makes sense for the moment in order to keep gameplay going. Later we can check the rules, or if someone has the rules handy we can go off of that. The rules are meant to be followed in good spirit, but this is also a creative art!
If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
the miracle love child of Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan.
Jeremiah | The Direpug Storyteller's ideal table
I run a collaborative, non-competitive environment that fosters fellowship around the love of RPGs and the stories they produce. We are all equals here, and this is a safe place to express your dreams, your characters, and your stories.

I love it when a player
involves other Players! Be it in shared backstory, improvising scenes during gameplay, or simply making sure that other characters are included.
My table is not the place for...
bigotry in any form. We fight hard for the paradox of tolerance here, because everyone at the table is an equal, is entitled to feel safe, and free to have fun in a comfortable environment.
