About Michael
I am a fun loving DM who focuses on player fun above rules. Though I do love my rules heavy systems for simulating all sorts of situations, I try to make sure it's always fun and comfy. And that everyone has a chance to roleplay out who or what they want to be. I love DMing grand adventures, and seeing all the unique kinds of character's my players come up with. And of course making sure they get the chance to go on many grand exploits.

I became a GM because
I like making others smile, I really like when someone is excited for roleplaying, for combat, to be immersed in whatever world I can bring to the table. And I personally really enjoy roleplaying all sorts of strange and interesting characters and creatures.
My favorite system of all Time is
Pathfinder 1e, I love how in depth the character customization is, I feel like I have seen so many games. And so often people playing the exact same class and race still end up with a very different, and fun, character.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Prepping for games, playing video games and playing card/board games like Arkham Horror the card game.
How Michael runs games
I like to give the players a lot of freedom, and I like to try my best to give the chance for a lot of roleplaying. I like to make sure everyone gets the chance to talk to npcs as much or as little as they want. And I keep an open mind, even if it takes a bit of work, I think there is nothing more fun then being surprised as a DM.

My games focus on...
Roleplaying and fun, letting everyone have a chance to shine and do their part. After all adventuring is a co-operative experience.
Rules are...
Rad! But seriously I think rules can help the fun, just gotta make sure they never get in the way. Fun and immersion come before rules in my opinion.
Michael's ideal table
I like players who are friendly and well mannered, who enjoy talking and are happy to tell me what they want to do next. If they ever have an players that I can help resolve it without them getting aggressive. After all we are all here to have fun.

Classic Adventure
I love it when a player
Is prepared and knows all of their own spells and class abilities. Or lets me know before a session if they don't understand any of those things.
I think metagaming...
Should be avoided at all costs, I know its hard but the most fun games come from everyone playing to what their character would do instead of what they personally know.
