How GM Gwen runs games

My focus is on presenting a world that offers interesting and meaningful choices for the characters, and in which their actions leave their mark. I prioritize social interactions and exploration; combat takes the backseat. I welcome and encourage proactive players with their own ideas. I often prompt players to add details that their characters would know. We are not telling a story – we are living the lives of our characters in this imagined world that is real to them. Only when looking back, do we say ‘Wow, what an amazing story emerged from our actions.’ I am receptive to suggestions and feedback, and am determined to get ever better as a GM.

The vampire acted as a damsel in distress, chased by the imp, while the goblin got the rooster. Big Stick rewarded them by sending them on an allegedly lucrative quest...

When it comes to voices

I'm a beginner, experimenting.

GM Gwen's ideal table

At my ideal table we are excited to add our ideas to the game, to build on one anothers' ideas, and care about each one of us feeling safe, appreciated and happy.
