About Matthew Fiore

I have run TTRPGs for about 12 years and have had nothing but positive experiences (OK, there was that ONE player). I recently moved to Tacoma and I’m looking to take my love of the game to the next level. To me, rule 0 is the most important part of any game: there is only one way to “win” in a TTRPG; everyone has fun. Whether a player is experienced or completely new, a GM must do their best to help ALL players of ALL types feel welcome and relaxed. This means balancing strategy, combat, role play, and mechanics to suit the needs of the group. Fortunately, I love all aspects of play and am more than happy to facilitate gameplay anyway I can.

How Matthew Fiore runs games

I love a little bit of everything: role play, combat, mechanics, strategy, you name it. As a default, I try to include all aspects of play into a campaign but I am more than happy to adjust to the players’ preferences; if you’re aren’t having a good time, I’m not having a good time. The only real barrier is balancing the needs of multiple players…that’s why session 0 is essential.
