About GM mega

𝐐: 𝐈’𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮? A: I'm a thirty-something man from the Baltics. I've been a huge RPG nerd for, dang, almost two decades now. 𝐐: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐆𝐌? I’m not a professional actor, improv guru or a celebrity GM, but I run a pretty good home game! 𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? A: It would be nice to be able to justify spending more time on tabletop RPGs by paying my bills with it. 𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧? A: I really enjoy running prewritten campaigns. It gives me a foundation to work off and lets the players know what to expect from a GM they haven’t played with before. So I’ll be running various published modules for 5e, Call of Cthulhu, OSR, Pathfinder 2e, etc. 𝐐: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐬? It's one of those things where I've been 'mega' online for so long, it just feels weird when people call me anything else, y'know?

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

GURPS, because I could use the big pile of sourcebooks to build myself shelter, D&D 4E, because sooner or later someone will arrive to argue with me about it and Call of Cthulhu, because it's a time-honored veteran that has a large library of well written modules.

How GM mega runs games

It's a little weird and awkward trying to convince someone that yes, you are good at something and not bad at it, but rest assured, I RPG real good and I don’t RPG bad. All things you think good RPG? I do. All thing bad RPG? Big no-no for me. Roleplay? Having 'fun'? Being cordial and professional? 𝗬𝗘𝗦. Dropping a player into a churning piranha tank because they made eye contact with me? I'd 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧. I run games without webcams. I just use Discord audio + VTT (Roll20 or Foundry, depending on the system). I usually save the music for climactic moments and silly gags - I am too busy GMing to also be the DJ and, just between you and me, when I'm a player in a game where the GM uses music I end up muting the music anyway. I enjoy teaching games to players. I have a long-running group where we try out new systems every few weeks, so we all got pretty good at it. Doing funny voices and accents is fun! My games are Terrible Voices Safe Zone. I’m fairly lenient about re-building your character or changing to a new one if the current character is not working for you. I'm rooting for you to win, but I won't pull punches. I try to aim for 5 players in a group. More is crowded, less becomes a problem when someone skips a week.
