About Michael Allen Zoeller

Hello there. I have been Game Mastering for about five years with various systems. I mostly run games that are a mix of lighthearted fun with intrigue and mystery sprinkled. (If you can't tell, big fan of Dimension 20 here.)

I got started GMing...

I got started GMing during my first ever game. When I started out I had no one I knew who would GM, plus, I knew I was a very creative person. It just made the most sense at the time to start there

My favorite shows/movies are

I am a big fan of shows that have a good mix of humor, drama, and action. Hazbin Hotel and the Dragon Prince are the ones that my friends been talking bout a lot lately. I am also a HUGE fan of both One Piece, Pokemon, and Tangled the Series.

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

Writing and producing my own superhero audio drama podcast with my friends.

How Michael Allen Zoeller runs games

You can expect shorter campaigns but with drama and stories that will (I hope) inspire fun and creativity. I love mystery and silly stories that blend comedy and drama.

I prep by

This may change as I start GMing on this site for new people who pay me. But as of right now I usually jot down all my thoughts after a session is over, ruminate on it over the week, and come back to it the day before the session to make stats and fully set up what the plan is.

Rules are...

I am mostly a rules-light GM. Rule of Cool is essential in my games. This is to an extent though.

When it comes to voices

I will definitely do voices. I am not an expert voice actor, but I find it fun to do silly voices, even if I am not always the best at them. I can do a little bit though from my experience in theater

I am for a vibe that's...

Fun yet compelling. A good mix of silly shenanigans and intriguing drama

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

Hate to be generic but Dimension 20. But its fitting. D20 has fun mysteries and lighthearted fun sprinkled in with drama and storytelling that can move you. I also don't like making campaigns too long. I like having fun with an idea and then moving on to something new.

My table is not the place for...

So... this is a good place to put my thoughts on two subjects. PVP: I am not saying never, but instances of PVP need to be pre-planned and extra safety precautions have to be put in place. Evil Characters: I have had this done well before, but then had a player ruin it. So I don't allow it anymore
