I became a GM because
I seek to tell stories with as many people as possible. It is my greatest love and obsession. This is my calling.
My favorite system of all Time is
possibly Daggerheart. My love for D&D had been strong, but the release of Daggerheart has swayed me, with a greater focus on game elements I resonate more with.
When I'm not running games I'm...
practicing my monster voices (much to my wife's dismay). My mind is also always on how to add to existing games, and thinking of cool new monsters, quests or dire siutations to throw the players into. Also
How Euan Buddie runs games
At the forefront of my games is YOU! I adapt to the tastes of the group, ensuring a fun and exciting experience! I am a believer that the rules provide a solid foundation for fair play, but I am prone to warping them in situations to give way for memorable moments that highlight characters. As an actor by trade, I am an avid roleplayer and strong with characterisation. I have a Mercer-esque approach to DMing, excelling in roleplay and immersion. All my NPCs and Monsters are fully-voiced and vocalised, from the zombie gargles to the High-Elf Wizard. I love to immerse through sound, combining my real life voice with the use of Syrinscape to bring a mix of sounds to the game. You can expect to be part of excellent improvisation and a chance to explore your character through roleplay you might not find elsewhere. I take this mentality into combat with dynamic enemies and enviroments that work to create unique expereinces, encouraging creativity. I try to keep combat to being meaningful to the game, but sometimes, it's good to allow a chance to try out new abilities or let off steam. Every combat, however, has an optional alternative, and the fallout of a fight is never just an enemy that despawns. These random encounters more often than not, have a chance to expand into story elements we create together. Most of all, I am on YOUR side. I want to see your characters be the centre of an amazing story, no matter how large or small it may be. I'm never out to kill you, simply to challenge you along the way. My philosophy is that TTRPGs are wholly a cooperative story telling experience. These are all things I go over in mandatory Session 0s, whereby we can talk extensively about the game and answer any questions in advance. The Key to a successful game is open communication, something I feel very strongly about in my games. Each session ends with a chance to discuss the contents of the session. Whether you're a new player or someone with a backlog of experience, you'll feel comfortable at my table, and given the chance to play in a way that otherwise might be harder to find.

My games focus on...
high roleplay and immersive storytelling. No matter the system, I have a focus on telling a story alongside my players.
Rules are...
designed to keep things fair and consistent. I believe they should always bend to the GM, not the GM to them. I have no qualms in bending the rules where relevant to make those memorable moments!
When it comes to voices
I am exceptionally well-versed. My players get to expereince uniquely voice acted NPCs & Monsters. It's one of the roleplay pillars I find most important in immersing players in the game world.
Euan Buddie's ideal table
Players that have a desire to tell a good story, who are eager to be part of the narrative and to invest in it. Players that love roleplay will be right at home in my games, finding chances to roleplay in ways other games may not provide.
