About The Gaming Peeples - Storyteller Tom - EU

⏰My Timezone is CET/CEST (Brussel-Europe)⏰. And yes I do sleep at night.😂 If you want to know who Tom is and what he brings to the table in regards to his Storytelling style, have look below or send a personal message via Startplaying Games or visit The Gaming Peeples Discord channel via this link: https://discord.gg/nEGMMRmtNz ☀️ ABOUT STORYTELLER TOM ☀️ 42y-He/Him🍟 Greetings and Salutations, I'm Tom from the sunny country of Belgium (Antwerp) where I live with my girlfriend and our 2 cats Louis & Minnie. Besides living a 'normal life', I'm a Storyteller with a passion for over 27 years of non stop telling tales. I love playing in roleplay Heavy, sandbox orientated campaigns, with focus on player character development, who make the world their own. While interacting with interesting and engaging NPC's with their own unique stories and silly voices. Plus I love adding lot's of improv and unexpected solutions to many obstacles our players face during our stories. In 2021 during the Pandemic, I landed in a burnout, due to my work taking over my life. Running over 60 to 70 hours per week for a job with no benefits nor any thanks given. So I decided that in May 2022, that all would change and I would build upon my passion for storytelling. This with my own brand The Gaming Peeples.

I became a GM because

I was invited as a standin to play a character at the fragile age of 15 to cover another player who had fallen ill. After his recuperation I was asked to leave and tried to find a new game, but every game was full. So, I decided to Gamemaster, after all how hard could it be. :)

When I'm not running games I'm...

Prepping for new games. Sleeping. Or spending time with GF, family, friends and Pets

My favorite system of all Time is

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1e and 2e! Did my longest running campaign with Warhammer, moving from 1e to 2e, ran for 15-ish years until a TPK (total party kill), ended it!

How The Gaming Peeples - Storyteller Tom - EU runs games

📖 LEARN TO PLAY 📖 I've always had a passion to teach people. Be it new systems, stories, games or anything else really. Lucky I was blessed with an overabundant amount of patience and therefore more than willing to help with any problems you might encounter during your roleplay experience. 🍜 VARIETY STORYTELLER 🍕 My kick lies in running a multitude of systems and stories. Ranging from 🧙Gothic Fantasy 🧙‍♀️to ⛓️Cyberpunk⛓️ to the Far reaches of 🚀 Space🚀 and 🌌Beyond🌌. 🫶 ROLEPLAY OVER ROLL-PLAY 🫶 I love to see players play their characters and watch them evolve over time without the need of constantly rolling dice or feeling limited to the stats and skills of their characters. As such I highly encourage players to talk, interact with each other and the NPC's of the world around them. See the changes of their actions and live within them. 💚 SAFETY 💜 Everyone at the table should be able to be themselves with mutual respect and love for those around them.🚦 This is the most important rule at The Gaming Peeples, please don't break it. 🚦 To help facilitate this, we use a variety of safety tools, be sure to check the individual game description and The Gaming Peeples discord for the complete list. ⛈ CAUSE & EFFECT 🌈 You as the player will interact in our gameworlds and EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS and wil have consequences. ⚔ COMBAT ⚔ Strap yourself in. NOT EVERY FIGHT will be easy to overcome nor 'fair'. 🧛‍♀️ NPC's 🕵️‍♂️ We come up with intriguing and sometimes downright silly NPC's and Villans. Who we bring to life with voices and their own way of standing in the world. 📚 RULES & RULE OF COOL📘 While we use RAI (Rules as Intended), the story and enjoyment of the players always comes first. As such we prefer a balanced approach to the Rules. So if it's COOL, go for it and we'll let the dice gods decide the outcome of your chosen action. 🌐 LOCATION 🌐 At The Gaming Peeples we can provide Stories in Dutch or English.

I prep by

Thinking what would make a cool addition to the story and what would work really well in the setting that we tell our story in.

Rules are...

There to help facilitate the story, but should never stand in the way of cool and epic moments.

My games focus on...

On the story we all make together through dice rolls and Lot's and Lot's of roleplaying our characters.

The Gaming Peeples - Storyteller Tom - EU's ideal table

I run tables where players build the story together. Sharing the spotlight in discovering the world, the npc's and each others background stories. Show respect to one and other, so that everyone can enjoy their time at the table. Roleplay will be central at our tables and most obsticles can be over come without the need of drawing a weapon or using any spells.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

Roleplaying your character and interacting with the world. While knowing that your actions carry weight and will shape the world around you.

I think it's a red flag when players...

They only think of themselves and focus only on what they want and not what the group can do and wants to do. Plus voilence should never be the first thought on a player's mind.

I love it when a player

Lets the dice rolls and roleplay grow their character instead of sticking to backgrounds and stats on charactersheet.
