About Alek

Starting off as a Dungeons and Dragons GM I played with friends and family for several years learning the game and trying other TTRPG systems as well. Eventually I ended up joining a group for professional GM's running one shots and short campaigns. Currently I work with a local therapy clinic running games for individuals with Autism, ADHD, Social Anxiety, and other Neurodivergences.

How Alek runs games

I believe TTRPGs should be fun, challenging, and approachable. As a GM I keep the preferences of the players in mind and adjust to their preferences and skill level. Not everyone wants to have a grueling 4 hour boss battle or wade through a masquerade ball roleplaying the entire evening. My specialty is improvisation and letting the players live out their character's fantasy as a powerful hero, clever detective, or even a cheesemonger from the mountains who's way in over their head.

Rules are...

Rules as written. However, I make liberal use of optional rules and emphasize player agency.

When it comes to voices

It can help players roleplay if each character has a unique voice. It can also be distracting to many players and, perhaps an unpopular opinion, not every NPC needs a unique voice.

I love it when a player

Ruins my carefully laid plans forcing me to think on my feet.

I think min/maxing...

Fun for the right setting and party. However no one like a party with one main character. I won't police how you have fun so long as it isn't at the expense of other players.
