About Mick Wiertel

I have been GM-ing since getting out of high school for in person and online groups. I started with DND 5e and run most of my games in that system with some breaks for other systems. Have recently been learning Pathfinder 2e and leaning into that system a bit more in my sessions. I've got three home groups and primarily ran homebrew modules in a 'Westmarches style' where all the groups actions can affect the others.

How Mick Wiertel runs games

I like to give my players a good amount of freedom and encourage discovery in a living, reactive world. I enjoy creating encounters that have challenge to them and still feel fair to overcome. I enjoy building story threads based on player interactions and have a high level of improvisation One of my players has described me as "Highly collaborative and improvisational"
