About me
Hello, I'm MaxSoulGMz, aka Brian. I've been GMing for over five years, running everything from Blades in the Dark to Grimwild, with a focus on story-driven, character-first campaigns. More importantly, I can't wait to connect with you, build friendships, and learn from each other. My games prioritise creativity, player agency, and long-lasting bonds. Expect a collaborative, emotionally rich table where meaningful choices pave the story. I strive to be transparent so everyone’s expectations—including mine—are understood and respected. I'm always open to feedback, adaptive, and committed to growth, not just as a GM, but as someone who values strong, lasting connections both in and out of game. 🧭 Want a peek at how I run things? Check out my portfolio for scene examples, testimonials, tools I use, and system breakdowns: 👉 MaxSoulGMz’s Portfolio: https://www.notion.so/MaxSoulGMz-s-Portfolio-21d77900be6f80678797c6989726bde0?source=copy_link If you love deep character arcs, cooperative storytelling, and a drama-rich narrative pace, you’ll feel right at home.
GM Style
🍷 I'm a huge advocate for roleplay between PCs and between PCs and NPCs. Although I'm a total novice with Voices, I make memorable NPCs by having them reflect stereotypes yet have their unique spins, through individual quirks, manner of speech, attitude, body language, etc. 📄 In relation, I recommend creating a PC with many new sprouts (Best if it inspires me too~) because little things excite me more than being able to easily weave your PC's story into mine and watch your PC grow as the game progresses. ⚔ I'm most experienced at crafting intricate and layered encounters for PCs that will first test your creativity (Rule of Cool applies), then your grasp of the mechanics. Just let me watch your PCs perform a spin or two, and your follow-ups will be more intense, provided that's what you seek from my games. Flexibility of my GM style is lacking, but I will always do my best and hope it'll improve as we adventure together! 👀 And remember to watch your actions, as my worlds are usually alive and different plots intertwine. I warn you, you will reap what you sow; it's just a matter of when. As for heroes, if you consent, their legacy will (hopefully😝) never be forgotten. TL:DR, Roleplay-Centric, Background Focused, Challenging/Layered Combat, Weighted Actions 💻 The game systems I'm best with are Grimwild, Blades in the Dark and Band of Blades, followed by Fallout 2d20, Sword Coast 2.5 and Delta Green.
