About Tim

Hi! My name is Tim. I have been playing TTRPGs for about seven years and GMing for about six of them. The games I have the most experience with are FATE, Kids on Bikes, numerous Powered by the Apocalypse Systems, some OSR systems, and 5e, but I have also run several other indie systems and am constantly checking out new indie games. I'm a narrative-focused GM who really enjoys character development and emergent story from gameplay. I do also enjoy combat, but narrative and character development don't turn off when the fight is on! I also love player contributions to the narrative and work with you to incorporate what you want to see for your characters into the storyline. My preferred virtual platform to play on as a GM is Role but I also will use Owlbear Radio depending on the system. I also use Theater of the Mind quite a lot, but typically with visual references. I use Discord for audio and video.

How Tim runs games

I run games that are roleplay focused, but combat is typical in my sessions as well. I react to player decisions in significant ways end enjoy focusing on emergent narrative and roleplay. Players are often rewarded for fast thinking and engaging in the narrative and world. I enjoy leaning into what players want to see or experience in my games and building the experience around their characters.

Tim's ideal table

I work to make my tables collaborative, inclusive, and fiction first. My players tend to enjoy high stakes, fun drama, and a fiction first approach to games regardless of the system. We shift between fun hijinks and significant emotional moments during play and enjoy a breadth of range for tones during play.

I love it when a player

takes a big swing and does something wild at the table. I also really enjoy it when players directly engage in the narrative and take ownership of it.

My table is not the place for...

Edgelords, folks who disrespect other players at the table or people who have a competitive mindset against the GM or other players.
