About GM Adam, dba Legend Weaver

Adam (Legend Weaver) has been playing Dungeons and Dragons since elementary school. Since then, he's played several different role-playing games, both in-person and online. He spent several years running a Vampire LARP in his city and has hundreds of hours of storytelling and game-running experience. Critical Role brought him back to the world of Dungeons and Dragons, and he enjoys being both behind the screen and in the trenches with other players. As an actor and singer, Adam enjoys telling stories, and this just adds to the list of stories he can help tell. He uses his theatre training to add creative NPCs and descriptions to enhance the player experience as much as possible. We now have a Discord Community server!

When I'm not running games I'm...

When I'm not running games, I'm either looking after my ailing parents, playing video games, singing karaoke, or camping in the forest.

My favorite books are

The Saga of Pliocene Exile series from Julian May

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Accessible, accommodating, and creative.

How GM Adam, dba Legend Weaver runs games

I am a big fan of as much immersion as possible. Anything spoken at the table is considered to be said in character. I also try to ensure that I am using all three pillars of a campaign (roleplay, exploration, combat) to make the story. I am a huge fan of games that are heavily roleplayed. I include story arcs built off of character information that I gain at Session 0. To me, any game that doesn't include stories that directly affect the characters just isn't fun. No matter how good the main plot may be, if there isn't any opportunity for the characters to have their own stories then it's just not a proper story. These games are collaborative. No one "wins" these games other than by working together to tell an amazing story. I like to encourage the players to tell a lot of the story, with minimal guidance from me.

Featured Prompts

Rules are...

a great framework, but can be bent depending on the story.

My games focus on...

interactions between characters to build the story. I am a huge fan of intense roleplay sessions, including those that involve combat.

I once ran a session...

at a Pagan festival, in a campground in a forest.

GM Adam, dba Legend Weaver's ideal table

My ideal table features players who are unafraid to take chances, who understand the importance of the story, and who enjoy fully immersing themselves in character. Players who aren't shy about sharing the spotlight, who actively support their fellow players, and work with each other and me to ensure that the sessions are fun for everyone.

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

relaxed, open, and cooperative.

My table is not the place for...

"shiny chasing" (having a "super cool" thing for your character that doesn't make sense for the story, character, or group). My rule of thumb is that it has to make sense for the story and actively enhance the overall experience.

I love it when a player

actively embraces failures. Failure is simply a part of the larger story, and can often make some extremely memorable moments.
