How James D'Amato runs games

My playstyle is perhaps one of the most thoroughly documented in the history of games. To save you over a thousand hours, I prefer cinematic story and character-focused games. I like to prioritize world-building and empower players to make bold choices. I have experience in hundreds of systems and bespoke game design so I am always prepared to bend and shape the rules to fit the experience of our table. If you can dream to want it, I can make it one of the most memorable moments of your life.
