How GM Joe B runs games

As a GM I am more RAW (“Rules As Written”) and lean into RAI (“Rules As Intended”) where a feature or spell is unclear. I prefer story over mechanics, and hope to see some contributions from you to make the story more fun through role playing. I do voices for NPCs and have worked up backgrounds for key NPCs as much as possible. OSR and Shadowdark RPG Roll for stats (Roll three sets of 3d6 down the line, keep one of your choice, reroll if no stats are 14+). We use XP leveling, treasure, gold, and carousing for XP. Please don't make evil characters (unless we are specifically playing an evil campaign), or races and classes from other worlds than the one we’re playing in. No player vs player violence or stealing from the party members. Games are conducted in English. As a narrativist at heart, I thrive on collaborative storytelling, weaving narratives with players that draw them into the heart of the story. I believe in crafting experiences that are not only fun but also deeply engaging, even in the darkest and grittiest of settings. My approach emphasizes player agency, ensuring that decisions count and every moment is filled with excitement and possibility while tying player narratives back into the overarching story. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or just starting your journey, I invite you to join me in creating unforgettable stories that will leave you eager for more. Let's embark on a journey of imagination and adventure together!
