How Léo Edson runs games

I try to have quite specific approaches that fit what I believe makes for a fun a diverse gaming experience for the 3 pillars of gameplay: - Exploration: In either an urban or wilderness setting, this is where immersion in a setting genuinely happens. I believe in colourful descriptions, being detail oriented about what the characters can see, hear or smell and keep it mechanics light (unless of course we're in a dungeon). Skill checks for foraging, or tracking, or investigating might be relevant but I like to use this time to let the players discover the world around them. - Social Interactions: I like to keep things fun and silly a lot of the time. It does get goofy at the table and the roleplaying is a great opportunity for everyone to have a bit of a laugh. Extra benefits in my opinion is that it eases jitters for players less comfortable with roleplaying and it also lends gravity to more serious social interactions through contrast. - Combat: I believe in challenging combat with genuine danger. I believe this gives PCs full range to make the best of their character sheets and have a bit of adrenaline at the table. I also like to think of combat as a puzzle: it may seem difficult until the solution is found. Combat in phases, combat that forces movement, and chases are also types of combat I like to run.
