About me

Hi👋, I'm Franc, better known as Golvin. I'd like to be your GM. While I mainly run D&D, Call of Cthulhu, and Alien RPG, my real pleasure is trying new modules and systems. (Cowboy Bebop RPG anyone?) Which has led me to a specialization in running one-shots, often including highly detailed handouts, pre-made characters, and other player aids. I also write the Reviews from the Far Reams Substack newsletter, currently focused on helping others get the most out of Call of Cthulhu 7e modules.

GM Style

Normally, I run rules as written with a preference for tense combats and clever solutions. Which is why I, if feasible in the rules, always say "yes" to players' hair brained schemes, dice willing. (It's why I come up with multiple solutions to most challenges in a module while prepping.) Part and parcel, I try to give sentient NPCs their own desires and quirks to be played with. Though there are some, like man hungry beast and terminators, you can't come to an understanding to. What's the upshot? If you enjoy role-play, you're going to like me.
