About Andrew Stevens
My favorite aspect of TTRPGs is setting up a world with ideas, then letting the players loose into it to see what happens. I love to use 5e as a baseline, then apply custom themes to them. I have run many different campaigns, from a Disney-themed campaign to a Star Wars-themed one, from a Superhero theme to a holiday theme, and a modern-day high school theme to a standard fantasy theme. If you want examples of my GM style, check out the podcast Approximate Heroes for more!

I got started GMing...
to tell and facilitate awesome stories! Collaborative storytelling is an amazing way to hang out with good friends and have fun
People are always surprised when I tell them
I play the violin. I even got voted "Looks least like his instrument" in my high school orchestra.
When I'm not running games I'm...
consuming media to help me learn new stories, characters, or twists for running my games.
How Andrew Stevens runs games
I love developing characters over time and working with the players to come up with interesting and meaningful growth for their characters to experience. I am working on my voice acting, so my NPCs usually have a different voice or accent. I try my best to "Yes, and" my way through player choices, but also want to make sure that every single player is comfortable and on board with what happens at the table. I am a believer in setting boundaries in Session Zero about what everyone is ok with, and am always open to hearing how we can redirect things if they get a little unsafe-y.

goofy times balanced with meaningful character growth
I think metagaming...
is unavoidable, but can be fun when not used too often.
My perfect party mix is
