About Bryan

I've been GMing for over thirty years. I've run and played in MSH, DC Heroes, Palladium, Rifts, Champions, a little bit of GURPS, and a bunch of random one-offs. My preferred system is Risus. Allows for fun without a bunch of rules getting in the way.

My favorite system of all Time is

Risus. A game so simple GMs find it intimidating.

People are always surprised when I tell them

I have aphantasia. Which means I have no visual imagination. I describe things I don't see. It's hard to explain.

How Bryan runs games

I am a simple GM. I believe firmly in games being fun. It seems odd to not have fun. I describe my GMing style this way. On my side of the screen, I am focused on portraying an accurate and consistent world. On your side of the screen, you can be scooby-doo as long as you're engaging with the adventure. I like building worlds that players can run wild in. I lean into crazy ideas and do my best to find a way to make them work inside my game world. One of my guidelines is, "I'm not here to limit you."

I once ran a session...

Where the players all decided to search an abandoned military installation for the whole session. There was nothing there but a scared little alien they killed immediately. It was one of my players favorite games of all time.

I prep by

I have custom worlds in multiple genres I've built over the decades. For individual adventures I'm a big fan of writing a few custom d6 tables. Just little things to get things moving or create cool moments.

My games focus on...

Problem solving, investigation, and the occasional brawl. I'm a fan of villains that turn out not that bad and good guys that are out of hand.
