About Julian Brown
Hi, I’m Julian! I’ve been GMing for about eight months now, and in that time I’ve fallen in love with creating welcoming, inclusive tables where everyone feels at home. Whether it’s your very first session or your hundredth. I run games with a focus on fun, collaboration, and making sure every player has a chance to shine. I specialize in Daggerheart, and I’ve made it my mission to know the rules inside and out so that you don’t have to. My goal is always to help new players jump right in without feeling overwhelmed. I also run Star Trek Adventures, bringing all the drama, diplomacy, and bold exploration you’d expect from a Trek story. If you’re looking for a GM who’s approachable, excited to help you learn, and ready to build unforgettable stories together, I’d love to have you at my table!

How Julian Brown runs games
I love celebrating successes! I also love teaching new players game systems like Daggerheart and Star Trek Adventures. You can expect someone who is patient, loves sharing the narrative, with the main goal of always having fun.

I deal with rules issues by...
By talking them out with my table. Each player gets a voice, and if they vote that a rule is cumbersome at the table, we remove it. If they think it should stay, we'll figure it out together.
Rules are...
guidelines more than anything. I don't ever want rules getting in the way of having fun! If something doesn't work for the table, I try to move on from it.
When it comes to voices
I say do them! I love doing voices, even if they are cheesy sometimes. My players seem to love them, and I say if you can do voices, go right ahead!
Julian Brown's ideal table
Where fun and laughs are the vibe. No one should take themselves too seriously! Rules should never get in the way of fun, and everyone should be celebrated for their successes.
Featured Prompts
I am for a vibe that's...
full of laughs and players that are chill and want to have a good time. My tables always seem to have a lot of bants and good times, and that's a vibe I'm always going for.
I love it when a player
Uses their imagination to flavor their skills and spells. I love celebrating what my players come up with, even if it borders on the outrageous!
My table is not the place for...
People who take themselves too seriously. I also don't welcome anyone at my table who doesn't celebrate diversity. No one should make a game solely about them.
