How Electrorocket [Jake] runs games

I love TTPRGs in general, there's a great feeling when I get to share a story with other people, stories born from their decisions. I really love TTRPGs that allow you to use the rules as a sturdy longsword blade, allows you to bend them like you would a pool noodle, and totally ignore them when roleplaying and other factors come into play. Ultimately my priority is to have some laughs, see unique challenges solved, revel in the telling of a story that we all got to play a part in. I am a fun over anything else kind of Gamemaster. Rollplay and Roleplay are both important to me, sometimes the dice tell the story, sometimes you overcome the need for dice through impressive decision making. I enjoy playing NPCs that interact with the player characters often, I do silly voices, and sometimes scary ones. My NPCs can be fairly odd and have noticeable quirks or problems they need help to solve. I ensure that the party members can talk to each other as often as they like too, I enjoy whenever that happens and I'm intently listening in. In D&D5e 2014, I run with homebrew rules that make combat against boss monsters more cinematic, dangerous, and show their personality. I made HP and healing stronger in the early game, and I've got other settings in 5e turned on that will make you a bit stronger. So in response to these changes, I also made boss enemies a lot more powerful than you'd usually encounter.

Electrorocket [Jake]'s ideal table

My table welcomes all player types, each table will feel like a different experience. We're probably going to make jokes, levity is needed in TTRPGs, they are games after all, we're here to have fun as both characters and ourselves. I enjoy letting the silliness have its time as well as letting the nightmare monster catch sight of you for just a second too long. Improvisational character roleplaying and intense combat are large parts of these games. Some boss encounters can take an entire session to complete, sometimes you manage to use roleplaying or quick thinking to avoid it altogether. I consider roleplaying a fairly useable weapon in combat, but it's a double edged sword, sometimes the enemy in response makes a decision you weren't expecting. I value roleplaying in combat a lot. I also consider the character that possesses the items, powers, and skills for use in roleplaying too, and reason what they should be capable of that the rules could be bent or ignored for.
