About LokisLair

I've been a premium GM since 2020 and I specialize in D&D, Shadowdark and more recently, Pendragon. I am available and looking for bookings from player/s who are interested in playing one of the game systems I run through this service, either as a one-shot or as an adventure. Campaigns will have to be discussed. I'm also a YouTuber using the same name and I specialise in TTRPG content to teach people how to run their own games.

I became a GM because

I was always interesting in world building and writing stories. Being able to do it collaboratively with other people is the best experience.

How LokisLair runs games

I think of myself as a very personable GM who take great pride in his craft. I value the concept of "pacing" and make sure my players get value out of their sessions. I deploy strategies to provide immersive and cinematic game-play with an emphasis on high-stakes situations. I like my players to feel like heroes, but I am a firm believer that players need to earn their victories. I don't fudge dice, or pull my punches. If you win, it's because you deserved it. I love to roleplay and I am comfortable doing a variety of voices for the NPCs in my campaigns. I write Dynamic Scenes for my games which includes NPC Dialogue, Scripted Events, and Bullet points for Improvisation. Tactical combat is very enjoyable for me and I like coming up with ways to challenge my players (the use of difficult terrain, cover, and tactics). I also like creating new systems and mini-games for players to take part in during session times. For example, in Pendragon I have greatly expanded on the rules of Falconry and made it more like Hunting and Feasting. I firmly use Roll20 for my games and take great pride in the high grade of formatting I've been able to achieve for my games as I know the virtual table top inside and out with over 14,000 hours of use. I have "Game Screens" which are essentially cheat-sheets for different parts of play. They are well put-together and provide players with the structured information and rules they need to play the game comfortably.

I deal with rules issues by...

Double-checking it quickly via PDFs then making a sensible ruling that is fair. If a player is still dissatisfied, I speak to them at the end of the session to try and figure it out. The last thing I want is to derail the session.

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

Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner, Kingdom of Heaven, the Last Duel) or John McTiernan (the 13th Warrior, Die Hard, Robin Hood 1991).

Rules are...

important to provide structure to the game, but not all rules are fun. Some rules can be changed, bended, or ignored when appropriate. I find this is more the case with D&D & Shadowdark, but less with Pendragon.
