About Sean
Hi there! My name is Sean (He/Him), you can find me on TikTok @imaginationarcade and on BlueSky @imaginationarcade.itch.io. Is there a TTRPG that interests you, but you're hesitant to play without someone who knows the rules to guide you through it? Let me teach you how to play! I'll provide the game, a VTT to play it on, and all the know-how you need to learn the system in a safe and inclusive environment. You can see clips of some games that I've run at youtube.com/@imagination_arcade Let's play a game together!

I became a GM because
I love telling stories and entertaining people!
I got started GMing...
In middle school, running games for my brother and friends
My favorite system of all Time is
Blades In The Dark! It's the first game I played where the system itself perfectly fit into how I naturally like to run games.
How Sean runs games
I try to be adaptable to what the players at the table are looking for in their game. Generally though, I enjoy mid-level crunch games with lots of action. Describing dramatic fight sequences is probably one of my biggest strengths. While I do come to the session with enough prepared to steer the story, I love surprises! I am very open to creative input from the players causing the narrative to go in an unexpected direction. Some of my favorite memories as a GM come from players making creative choices that push the story somewhere I didn't plan for it to go. As I mentioned above, I strive to create a safe space at my table, and begin all my games by going over lines and veils, as well as establishing a pallette for the game that gives me an idea of what kind of content players would and would not enjoy seeing in the game. I also make X-Cards available and exercise an open door policy, so that players have tools available to them in case something unexpected occurs in the game to make them uncomfortable.

My games focus on...
The player experience above everything else. I want to find the elements of the world and the story that the people at the table find interesting, and zoom in on them!
Sean's ideal table
I aim to make my table a safe space for queer, BIPOC, and neurodivergent people, anyone who has ever been made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable in this hobby.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Chaos
I love it when a player
Takes risks! Don't be afraid of big swings, I'm not an adversarial GM who is looking for ways to "gotcha" my players. I want you to do the cool thing!
I think min/maxing...
Is great! The mechanisms are part of the game we're playing, it's more fun when you use them!
