About GMGodEmperorDude

Utilizing 20 years of experience as a "Forever DM" supported by a long career as a working musician and entertainer, I try to give my games an immersive, cinematic flavor. To achieve this, I use Talespire VTT (no purchase necessary) for its camera capabilities, music, lighting effects, and ambient sounds that I support with my own soundboards. I also employ voice modulators where my VA chops aren't quite enough. NO MORE OLD MAN LITTLE GIRL VOICES!

I got started GMing...

the same way every GM does: Being the only guy who was willing to do it. I grew to love it, and have been doing it for roughly 20 years now.

My favorite shows/movies are

The Departed, LOTRO, Galaxy Express 999, anything by Tarantino, Coen Brothers, or PTA. Musicals, MST3K, 3rd Rock from The Sun, Berzerk, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Castlevania, MCU (even at its worst)... I have no life. This list is endless.

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

How GMGodEmperorDude runs games

I do my best to create an immersive rpg experience with a strong cinematic flair. My games tend to have a fair balance of roleplay and combat, adjusted to the game I'm running and the story I want to tell. I enjoy and can facilitate most playstyles and tones, usually adapting to the group.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

John Milius (Conan, The Barbarian), John Boorman (Excalibur), and Francis Ford Coppola (c'mon) collaborating with the written works of Ryo Mizuno (Record of Lodoss War), with the world building being done by Hironobu Sakaguchi (lead writer for many Final Fantasy games) and the Hickmans (Dragonlance)

I once ran a session...

I still do, but I once ran one too. BOOM! I'll be here all night.

My games focus on...

1. Fun 2. Engagement 3. Immersion

GMGodEmperorDude's ideal table

I strive to provide an atmosphere that allows my players to be comfortable with being themselves. I thrive on player engagement, and I feel like it's my responsibility as a GM to "read the room" and make it work. For my live games, I treat it like hosting a party, and the GM is the MC.

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

A living setting where you could be playing through the ripple of a wave another player made from the other side of the world while you make waves of your own. Where you could find the weapon of a dead player character on the ground months after the battle they died in.

I love it when a player

comes up with a creative solution that takes the scene or encounter in a direction we as GMs didn't see coming. That's the kind of stuff we write short stories on our server about.

My table is not the place for...

Bullying other players. That's about it. I personally have no content restraints. I merely ask that we all establish boundaries at session 0 and respect the boundaries of your fellow players.
