How GM John runs games
When I'm GMing, your character’s choices shape the story. I love creating long-term plotlines that draw from your backstories and motivations. I focus on progressing the story or your character's interests, and steering clear of random encounters. I utilize homebrew enhancements to boost certain classes and subclasses, like the Ranger and Transmutation Wizard, ensuring that every choice feels rewarding and impactful. Tactical combat is a hallmark of my sessions, where players must think critically and collaborate to succeed. In high-stakes roleplay, your decisions can forge alliances, spark betrayals, or even lead to the loss of beloved characters, making every moment charged with tension. I’m here to help you bring your character to life, crafting memorable, meaningful moments in a story we build together while facing challenges that test your skills, teamwork, and emotional connections
