How Kade Shiel runs games
My campaigns revolve around the player characters and feed off the strange choices they make. I lean into roleplay and like to make combat and exploration feel cinematic. Sessions tend to be slow-paced, with plenty of room to explore/roleplay. I attempt voices for my NPCs that all inevitably end up sounding like a silly Australian man. If you're new to Dungeons & Dragons and want to give it a try - I'm your guy!

Rules are...

When it comes to voices
...the worse, the better!
Kade Shiel's ideal table
My ideal table likes to roleplay and isn't afraid to look a bit silly in the process. If you're imaginative and like telling stories, my table's the place for you.

I love it when a player
...does something unexpected but in character.
I think metagaming...
...gets in the way of imagination and creativity.
I think min/maxing...
...is unnecessary, I'll just make the enemies stronger!
