About KT Beauchamp

Hello there! I'm Kenny, an experienced professional and full-time gamemaster. With a background in creative writing (B.A.), game design (A.A.), and certifications in narrative design, I bring both structure and spontaneity to every session. I've also designed my own adventure paths, campaign settings, and mechanics, giving me a deep understanding of how story and mechanics can work hand-in-hand. My true passion lies in collaborative storytelling, weaving unforgettable adventures through improv, roleplay, and the dynamic systems of TTRPGs. Whether you're new to the table or a seasoned dice-roller, I’m here to help you explore new worlds, tell epic stories, and, most importantly, have a blast doing it!

I got started GMing...

Because my coworkers outed me as a nerd and asked for a game, six hours into a three-hour one-shot, I knew I’d found my calling.

My favorite books are

Gritty, character-driven sagas like The First Law, The Expanse, Bloodsworn Saga, and Red Rising.

My favorite system of all Time is

Cypher System's limitless genre flexibility and smooth mechanics make it a GM’s dream. Shadow of the Demonlord is D&D 5e but better...

How KT Beauchamp runs games

Welcome to the table! Here's what you can expect when you game with me: 🔹 Safety & Consent First Every game begins with a session zero and consent forms to ensure comfort and clarity. My Discord follows strict conduct guidelines, with zero tolerance for harassment or disruptive behavior. 🔹 Old-School Roots, Modern Storytelling I blend a love for classic TTRPG themes with rich, open-world storytelling. My campaigns grow organically around your characters, using lifepaths, NPC webs, and immersive environments to build living, breathing worlds. 🔹 Player-Driven Roleplay We're all co-writers here. I encourage collaboration and creativity, often pausing to ask: “What do you think would be cool?” Your choices drive the story, and the “Rule of Cool” is always in effect. 🔹 Gritty, Cinematic Combat Combat is fast-paced, brutal, and exciting. Using cinematic framing and screenwriting language, I craft memorable moments that blend tactical storytelling with epic narrative. Expect meaningful battles that feel like a movie. 🔹 Immersion from Every Angle From animated vignettes and tactical battlemaps to handpicked music and vivid NPCs, every tool is used to bring the world to life. Whether you’re exploring, battling, or roleplaying, immersion is key. 🔹 Fair, Flexible, and Fun Rules support the fun, not block it. I balance RAW with narrative sense and always side with table enjoyment. That said, dice rolls are sacred; no fudging here.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Paul Verhoeven, with all his social edge and wild energy, shot by Roger Deakins for epic beauty and grit.

My favorite trope is...

The scoundrel with a heart of gold. Give me a rogue who cares, and I’m all in.

Rules are...

Guidelines to support the story, not restrict it. Twist them when the narrative demands.

I love it when a player

Leans into sub-optimal moves for the story. It’s cinematic, chaotic, and pure magic at the table.
