How marduker runs games

I'm a high adventure, high fantasy and tactical combat type of GM to put it very short. 🧜‍♂️🧛‍♂️🧙‍♂️💂‍♀️ General "feeling" to be found in my games can be felt in the combination of the following movies: -Le pacte des loups -The Princess Bride -The Descent -LOTR -Conan the barbarian -Pan's Labyrinth I'm fond of roleplaying, long questlines and surprising my players. There's always something unexpected to be found while adventuring in my games. I try my best to make immersive worlds that feel alive. I'm also a fan of tactical combat, exploration and encounters that have more flesh to them than simply something to hit with a big stick. +I'm your GM IF you like high fantasy, adventuring in dangerous places and the feeling of exploration and discovering ancient long lost secrets. -If you're more of a theater of the mind type of person that likes freeformy games and not so much number crunching and tactical combat, I'm probably not a good fit for you.

marduker's ideal table

My table is a friendly, relaxed place where you can forgo the worldly worries of everyday life and instead worry whether your character survives through the campaign. There is humor but also darker tones occasionally. There are a lot of shenanigans allowed, and I endorse creativity in all my games. You can attempt to climb on the dragon, jump from a chandelier, scare that goblin tribe away with your best impression of an angry goblin god etc. I will let you try almost anything you can think of, in these cases there will be consequences to failures too as you can imagine. I do not allow you to get heavy mechanical benefits with witty wordplay however. I like creativity, I do not like attempts to cheese through the content. Least of all I like cheating. I dislike metagaming as well, meaning if I'm running a module for you DON'T read ahead on the content coming up even though I modify pretty much everything I run heavily.

I am for a vibe that's...

reminiscent of friends gathering around a table in a dusty basement to play some roleplaying games while someone's mom is bringing pizzas later on. Favorite vibe for me= friends having fun and enjoying some good roleplaying together.

I love it when a player

risks their own character to try and save either an NPC or another player character, or a pet/companion of another character. That's some real heroic action.

I think min/maxing...

is fine as long as it's not taken too far(to be detrimental to the fun of me and the rest of the table).
