About GalacticGlitch
Greeting Adventures! I’m Galactic Glitch! A Game Master of 8 years with a bachelor’s degree in independent filmmaking and a minor in creative writing. To me, D&D is all about collaborating together to create a story that will make you laugh, scream, and cry, but all in a good way ;) That is why each and every one of my campaigns is based within the same universe, Aphara. Your decision, whether villainous or heroic, will impact the whole universe and even other campaigns. So whatever road you go down, may the threads of fate guide you towards adventure.

I became a GM because
After playing in one of the worst campaigns imaginable, I made a vow to become a forever GM and prove how incredible D&D can be when done right.
People are always surprised when I tell them
I'm American, and my Girlfriend is Canadian. We have been dating for 3 years.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Storyteller, Whimsical, Dyslexic
How GalacticGlitch runs games
I excel in crafting long-term storytelling narratives that explore complex yet profound philosophical questions surrounding human nature and morality. Where each NPC, drawer, and book might hold the next piece to the narrative puzzle. While the gameplay loop of my campaigns is quite flexible, I personally lean towards a focus on Roleplay first, Exploration second, and Combat third. Oh, and I have a load of homebrew! From something as simple as Alcohol to world-shattering 10th-level spells. Anything you imagine I can have, and if I don’t, talk to me, and I might just add it.

I deal with rules issues by...
Following the exact wording of the rules. Unless the wording is unclear, in which case the party will reach a conclusion based on majority interpretation.
My favorite trope is...
The Tragic Villain. I love creating characters with a kind soul, only to throw endless tragedies into their life and transform that soul into an empty husk.
When it comes to voices
I try to emphasise who the character is with my performance. This is enhanced by my XLR Mic and GoXLR.
GalacticGlitch's ideal table
My Table typically has two environments. The first is a relaxed and jokey environment filled with low-stakes RP and exploration. Often, a comedic moment within the game can momentarily sidetrack the table with laughter and continuation of the comedic moment. The second environment is that of a whiteboard filled with little clues that build towards a grand epiphany. A name erased in high-value documents, a color accompanied by the taste of static, and rumors of a location where no light survives. It all builds towards an epiphany of pure destruction. Each campaign tends to find its own blend of the two environments, with the party heavily influencing that blend.

I love it when a player
Takes notes and reads the worldbuilding I provide.
I think min/maxing...
Is part of the fun. However, it’s no longer fun when it comes at the expense of others’ enjoyment.
My table is not the place for...
aggressive venting of frustration. We’re all adults, and I expect all my players to communicate calmly and respectfully when frustration arises.
