About Louis G.

Louis has been playing and DMing Dungeons and Dragons for 4 years. His style leans heavily towards roleplay, but he also likes to run tactical battles where the enemies are smart and coordinated to challenge his players and encourage them to push the limits of their abilities. Louis is a sketch comedy writer and voice actor, and he loves to build his worlds with engaging NPCs. He strives to create a unique voice and personality for everyone the party interacts with. Games are mostly run via AboveVTT and Discord for voice and text. Tl;dr: This DM prioritizes the following in descending order: 1) Roleplay 2) Combat 3) Exploration 4) Political Intrigue

How Louis G. runs games

I love roleplay and interacting with players as NPCs with unique voices. My combat style is very tactical and fast-paced. I like fair but challenging battles that push the players to work together and use the limits of their characters’ abilities. I am also a big fan of exploration, and enjoy designing dungeons and monster lairs filled with puzzles, traps, and treasure. I would say my least developed skill is political intrigue, but I do strive to make engaging villains with complex plots and schemes.

I deal with rules issues by...

Making a call in the moment to keep things moving, and revisiting with a discussion later to see how the players felt about the call to decide what would be best going forward.

When it comes to voices

I try to distinguish NPCs by as many various voices and accents as possible. Voice acting is one of my favorite parts of being a DM

Louis G. 's ideal table

My ideal table consists of roleplayers and collaborative storytellers. Most of my players tend to enjoy improvising and interacting with NPCs just as much as a good combat encounter. I like providing RP scenarios that allow players to really build out the complex lives of their PCs

I am for a vibe that's...

...inclusive, fun, and comfortable.

I love it when a player

...describes an elaborate flourish in combat, whether it's a weapon attack or a magic spell

I think metagaming...

...is unavoidable, but can be managed easily. For example, I think it's fine for the healer to ask the other players how much HP they have left, but I prefer if they describe it in terms of how hurt/close to death they are, rather than with a precise number.
