About Steven

I have been a Dungeon Master for 6+ years and have run many short and long term campaigns, both homebrew and modules. I love running games, prepping and creating a fun and immersive world, and seeing my players have fun. If the players are having fun then I'm having fun. When I do prep work I try and use maps for everything instead of relying on theater of the mind. For NPCs I try and flush them out and make each one that the party interacts with interesting and unique. The worlds I build are usually open like a sandbox so that the players feel like they can go anywhere and do anything they want to do, but I also give them plot hooks to help build a collaborative story that the players and I build together.

How Steven runs games

A Healthy mix of roleplay, combat, and exploration. I encourage my players to roleplay and stay in character when we play. When it comes to combat, I like to provide a challenging experience. The harder the challenge, the greater the reward.

Featured Prompts

I prep by

spending hours and hours every week thinking ahead, creating maps, tokens, music tracks, sound effects, and handouts so that every session feels prepared and immersive.

Rules are...

guidelines and sometimes I may bend the rules if it fits, but for the most part I try and follow the rules as best as I can.

When it comes to voices

I love doing different voices for every npc

Steven's ideal table

My preferred table is easy-going and fun. I expect my players to know how to share the spotlight and help each other out whenever they have questions.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Does something I don't expect and forces me to improvise.

I think metagaming...

is annoying and I don't allow it.

My perfect party mix is

a party of different races and classes. I prefer it when the party is diverse, it gives everyone a chance to be unique.
