Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I love storytelling!

People are always surprised when I tell them

that I've been to Antarctica!

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

...making games!

How GM Ranko runs games

I tend to run chill, light on combat, heavy on RP, slice-of-life-esque homebrew short campaigns, and one-shots. As a former actor, I love doing voices. Looking forward to meeting you!

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

Wes Anderson

I once ran a session...

for 72 hrs straight!

When it comes to voices

I love doing them!

GM Ranko's ideal table

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

braves to improvise and add to the world and lore.

I think it's a red flag when players...

...digs some obscure homebrew content just to get OP edge.

My table is not the place for...

...combat loving number crunching wargamers
