About Adam

A focus on fun! I am a parent of 3 boys. My oldest in 2021 asked to play and was hooked on TTRPG's since. We have a blast in our home games. This experience brought back memories of playing D&D 3.5 in the community college cafeteria. A too short lived experience but super memorable. I have come to love new systems and have played a lot with Monster of the Week, Call of Cthulhu, and am learning Candella Obscura. That narrative style of game play has shaped my approach to my 5e games as well. I am a 46 year old cis white guy. I am also a therapist, parent and magic enthusiast (Tricks not the TCG, though I've played that as well). I am a husband and a parent and all of those roles help shape who I am as a person and as a GM. That therapist part means I have all clearances for my state and my background helps me feel comfortable working as a GM for teens, and families.

How Adam runs games

As a GM I want you to win. But I also I want to challenge you. I want new players to learn and grow. I believe that New players and GM's are essential to growing in this hobby and keeping things alive. I run PG 13 most of the time, but give adults the space to say what's on their mind. I like to play a fun game. Don't mistake fun for funny. Fun games can be funny but they can also be serious, heartbreaking, or mysterious. I try to be fair. I try to stick strongly to the adventure as written. I'll honor most choices. However, there is an agreement here that you want to play the game I'm hosting. I will try to help anyone create a character that will fit into the world we are using.

I deal with rules issues by...

Making a ruling in the moment and then making a ruling between sessions regarding what we do moving forward.

When it comes to voices

I do my best.

Adam's ideal table

I describe my table as a Beer and Pretzels table. It's meant to be fun and loose. We follow the rules we make calls and we focus on fun. A small balance of side chatter and interruptions allow for jokes and fluidity that is very hard in the online space. I love it when you all make me laugh.
