About Ronnor

Old school DnD GM. Over 40 years of experience, mostly face-to-face but also several online long-term (1+ year) campaigns. Creative homebrew campaigns with imagination, interesting challenges, villains, rewards, plot-twists, with the goal of enjoyment for everyone! Looking for mature players who seek a traditional old-school game using the more traditional official races and classes rather than robot unicorns with guns and psionics. if you are looking to play an exotic character, we can possibly discuss some options. Roleplaying strongly encouraged. Min/max spotlight hogging discouraged (let's work together and let everyone shine and have fun). Reasonable 'rule of cool' playstyle rather than strict RAW 'rule police' style of game. Long term campaigns starting at level 1 and working up towards 20. Expect levels 1-3 to level up fast, then levels 4+ to slow down a bit. Good balance of roleplaying, combat and exploration. There will be some puzzles, but more of a campaign plot style rather than fiddly traps and levers and number/word games. If this style interests you then get your game on and join!

How Ronnor runs games

Creative storytelling with imagination. Long term campaigns. Hoping for four hour sessions with a break (or as per party preference). Rich immersive homebrew world in which the players and party plot their own course (no pre-set linear campaigns- it's all up to the party). Real risk of characters' death depending on luck and decisions. After all, it's not heroic if you can never die. You might want to have an alternative character concept (or sheet already made up), just in case. If you like a rough, gritty old-school style game within a rich homebrew world then this campaign is for you! All welcome- no discrimination tolerated- some adult themes but nothing excessive. Prefer aged 18+.

Ronnor's ideal table

Everyone is having fun. Balanced play where no one always is in the spotlight. Humour and roleplaying rich, but still focused on the task at hand. No rule police or major inter-party conflicts.
