About Kerby

I've been running RPGs since 2004, with the large majority of that happening between now and 2014. I got my start with World of Darkness, and now I run almost any game under the sun. I think my style is very player and character centric, even with premade campaigns, and open for a lot of collaboration to tell a good story. I do not run DND 5E. Nothing terribly against it, I just don't think it would be fair of me to charge money to DM a game I'm meh about.

My favorite system of all Time is

Cortex for showing me how game systems can be looked at and embraced.

How Kerby runs games

- Roleplaying: I usually follow player cues. If you're doing voices, I'll usually do voices. If you're talking third person, I'll usually match that. - I enjoy tactical combat as much as I enjoy cinematic, narrative-driven combat. - Crunch. I enjoy crunch when it's actually done well. I like finding games that match my player's speed/taste for it. - I LOVE spotlighting characters. I often like just giving the reigns on worldbuilding away, too. This varies from table-to-table, so it's something I like to talk about at session 0.

I love it when a player

embraces the narrative, rejoices in another player's moment, and is excited to learn new mechanics.
