About The Mad Catter

I am the Mad Catter, I've been running RPG's since I was a wee little Catter, and I will probably stop when I'm dead. Maybe not even then. I have a background in theater, I am a storyteller, and consider one of the heights of the craft to be the collective weaving of tales a group can conjure up. Here's what you can expect from me as a GM: 🕰️ Years of experience. (Not that it truly matters) 🏳️‍🌈⚧️ Inclusive GM 🎭 Narrative GM style. 📜 Incorporates player back stories. 🧛 Horror storyteller (have a podcast and everything) 🤡 You'll get the funny (or creepy) voices! 🎼 Music and Ambience incorporation. 📚 Lover of many systems. 🌱 Loves teaching new players. 🖥️ Can run on Fantasy Grounds, Alchemy, and Roll20, still learning Foundry. I love running RPG's, and I love teaching RPG's, and to a lesser extent VTT's because, well, that's how I run RPG's after all. My experience is in various iterations of D&D and Pathfinder, however I'm playing other systems and want to play even more. If you wish to commission me, message me with your request, and I'll be honest about my ability to aid you with it. Booking rates are assuming a full table, one on one can be negotiated.

I got started GMing...

When I was in middle school via AD&D 2nd Edition.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Savage Worlds, year zero, and probably some d20 based thing since it's so damn prolific.

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

Other than my day job and nerdy interests, well I'm probably working on my little horror podcast: Twisted Teatime.

How The Mad Catter runs games

Despite training my accents are rusty, but I am an experienced storyteller and I'm fond of a narrative style of play. While I'm certainly capable of sticking to the rules, I prefer a game that fits the theme and mood, as well as the character's stories, first and foremost. I strive for consistency, but am not afraid to try new things. I love to bring in music and soundscapes when possible but prefer to keep that a players option for immersion rather than a requirement as I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea.

I deal with rules issues by...

If someone doesn't know off hand, and looking it up might take too much time, I'll make a ruling and move on.

Rules are...

guidelines, but consistency is key. I'll take spirit over raw.

The Mad Catter's ideal table

My ideal table involve players who engage with the world, let people take turns being in the spotlight, and give me material to work with in regards to their back stories.

I love it when a player

Knows what's on their character sheet.

I think metagaming...

Isn't black and white. Playing with some rules in mind is fine, but when you argue that a creature I described as a 'wraith' should be affected by your daylight spell, but really I'm sending sword wraiths at you, you should maybe just not.

My table is not the place for...

Murder Hobos
