About Gabriel

Hi, my name is Gabriel, also known as Deren or Drake, I am a ultra eager Game Master, who is always up and ready to run a game or work on character backstories when possible. I am always seeking to collect more assets, materials and collections of things for any and all games I run. I love to run games where the players are the focus and twisting their expectations and shocking them with great plot hooks or turning points. I run inclusive and diverse groups, always seeking challenges with player concepts. Story and World Building are some of my favorite things to do, and I do like spending time designing maps when I can for any and all games I run. If a player comes with me with a cool concept, I will always try to find a way to incorporate it into the story organically. Monsterfolk are always welcome in my games. I have ran D&D games for the past 12-14 years and many other game systems. BESM 3rd & 4th, Makton Zeta, Battletech, D&D 2e, 3e, 4e, 5e, Pathfinder, Warhammer 40k RPG systems like Rogue Trader, Black Crusade, Dark Heresy and more smaller systems. I am most familiar with Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms Setting, given it is the Core Setting for 5e and my favorite for 3e. I do have my own Home Brew setting I can use and work with, though it is alot in the works, though hoping o expand it through active play. Hope you are interested and hit me up, thank you for your time.

I got started GMing...

When I was a teenager over 20 years ago , playing D&D with my step dad's D&D books.

How Gabriel runs games

I live for the roleplay and story of a game. I prioritize story over most things, even if it means scaring my players to get reactions from them. I like finding ways to motivate my players while expanding my own worlds, and always try to take in character backstories and add them in.

Gabriel's ideal table

Ones who are full of ideas and wanna see a good story. Possibly those fine with the story being meshed to be more cool over hard rules.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

goes fully into character, though I may laugh its more out of joy. I have always enjoyed seeing people being fully in character and engaging with my worlds.
