About Cory Smith
I've been playing RPGs for over 30 years, the vast majority of those as a DM. I regularly run games in high-profile gaming conventions such as GenCon, GaryCon, Origins, and Gamehole Con. My favorite systems include Symbaroum, Shadowdark, Mutant: Year Zero, Dungeon Crawl Classics, and even 5e D&D.

My favorite books are
Legend of Drizzt, Sword of Truth, Lord of the Rings... too many to count.
My favorite system of all Time is
Symbaroum. I love the grim dark setting and many of the unique things about it - mainly it being a d20 roll-under system, the fact that I, as the GM, almost never roll the dice, and the corruption mechanic that keeps spellcasters "in check."
How Cory Smith runs games
I try to bring a balance of roleplaying, exploration, and combat to my games.
Featured Prompts
I deal with rules issues by...
deciding what is best for the story in the moment. I tend to stick to RAW rulings, so players know what to expect. However, rules were made to be broken so if you want to do something cool that isn't explicitly allowed, give it a shot!
