About me

I have played RPGs for 30+ years, and while I started with D&D, I have played a variety of games, from World of Darkness, Chronicles of Darkness, Exalted, Legend of the Five Rings, Scion, FFG's Star Wars, Pathfinder, and more. I like to run games that are player-driven. Sure, I have ideas on the adventures I wanna run, but players can decide to do something unexpected, or follow up on something I didn't plan on, and it's fun to see how it turns out. After all, this is a game we all need to enjoy.

GM Style

I have an overarching idea for the kind of campaign I want to run, and the adventures it will spawn, but am flexible about it, as the characters, and the choices they make can and will lead to different outcomes, and, in my opinion, more engaging stories, as their characters interact with the world around them, and so it will determine how the world reacts to them. The games I run tend to present a variety of NPCs, both great and small, to the character to interact with, and I love to explore it with them. And to see which NPC captures their imagination more, so that this NPC might get more screen time, and perhaps more importance, no matter the role they were designed for.

Red Shadow Claws is a wonderful GM. I played with him for the last 5 years. He has a natural talent for telling a story. He is a master in developing game systems which are easy to follow and fun to play. I like the way he gives room for character development, which he naturally integrates with the story world. His games balance social encounters, fighting and roll playing. I strongly recommend playing with him.

I have been playing with Red Shadow Claws for over 20 years now, in different groups, both online and live, with many different playing systems. He always knows the system especially well, always ready to move the campaign forward, but allows the players to do whatever they want, and alters his plans accordingly. It's always fun to later ask him what his plan was for this or that scene. If you have a hard time building a character, he is always most helpful, and if you want to play something unusual, he will usually bend the rules, or create new rules to allow for this. Always ask. Remember - we play to have fun!

Itzhak is an excellent GM. His games are both extremely fun and challanging. Every session is carefully planned, but he's not afraid to improvise and change things according to what happens in the table. He gives room for character development, roleplaying, and also some dungeon crawling and problem solving. Itzhak is very pleasant and inclusive GM. He helped integrate players with various levels of experience. I definitely recommend his sessions for an awesome time.
