About Grady
I'm an avid world builder with a passion for telling stories with other gamers. Everything is ready, now we just need some awesome heroes. We ship out on game day! After 40 years of running D&D games as a hobby, I'm taking the plunge and "going pro" as a DM. I may be new here at StartPlaying, but I've run thousands of game sessions of D&D and many other RPGs, nearly all with homebrewed adventures, or original campaign settings. Although I mostly run D&D (We all love 5E!) I also have a published science fiction setting which I run using the Black Star rules from Lakeside Games. When I'm not gaming, I enjoy reading science fiction, listening to trip hop, arguing with my cat, and drinking cuba libres. Sarcasm is my second language. My familiar's name, btw, is Rags.

How Grady runs games
I run collaborative, character-oriented campaigns using my own original settings. I work with my players to incorporate their backstories into the setting, and use their stories as the main plot points for the campaign. The result is (hopefully!) a strongly role-play oriented game, with action, intrigue and exploration added to taste. I prefer stories about *heroic* characters. (Not so much edge-lords or murderhobos.) I run stories about worlds in crisis and the people fighting to save them, or at least make them better places to live. I use Rules As Written for my games, with a few exceptions. I only make a house rule when it's necessary to fix a problem with the written rules. I prefer to use Roll20 for D&D, and Astral Tabletop for my Prowlers & Paragons games. (Although Astral will be shutting down soon.) I use Discord for voice (and video if desired) for all my online games.
