About Lucien

I’ve been playing games for over a decade, running them for 4 years and I've got my own game in development right now! I run three home groups currently and play in a fourth! I’m always willing to try a new system😸 I tend to run free form, player driven stories, where your input is the biggest factor in plot. You can find me on YouTube by searching EDEN: Left Behind, where I post about game design, story telling, and world building. I will never use AI of any kind in anything I run, create, or play. Players in my game are to follow the same rules while at my table. If you have a request for a game, shoot me a message! I'm happy to accommodate!

How Lucien runs games

I love doing fun voices my NPCs, create rich worlds, and use player actions to shape the story. My combats usually arise naturally, rather than from predetermined events, with the difficulty varying greatly, but always showing a way for player victory if creativity is used. I incorporate a variety of tones in my games, with sadness, humour, horror, and adventure present in all my games. I often incorporate horror elements into the enemies I design, allowing them full capability to terrify players. I make sure to always listen to player lines and veils and take limits very seriously, making sure everyone has a fun, healthy time engaging in my games. And above all! I want all my players to have a good time! Making sure everyone (even the quietest player), gets a time to shine!

I once ran a session...

at a masquerade, where players needed to plant bugs on 3 targets, who they knew only by name...

Rules are...

there to facilitate a story. If the rules come into friction with story, the story always takes priority.

When it comes to voices

I LOVE doing voices. I enjoy when players do them too but that’s not mandatory at all. Voices help give life to the game, and differentiate between me vs an NPC speaking

Lucien's ideal table

My table is engaging, friendly, and welcoming. Players that love to share the spotlight, drive the story, and be creative, will feel at home here.

I am for a vibe that's...

creative, adventurous, and welcoming! Everyone should get their turn in the spotlight, and their own character arcs.
