About Moonlight Drive-In

Hey there! I'm 𝐒𝐲𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧, proprietor of Moonlight Drive-In Theater, your number one stop for pulpy fun tabletop games! I hope you brought your 3D glasses. I was born in a cave, shackled to an old CRT television and forced to watch the worst schlock humanity could ever create. This has turned me into a mad scientist of genre. Really, though: I've been playing RPGs for around 15 years now. I cut my teeth on forum based, systemless roleplaying that I was eternally dissatisifed with, for it lacked that certain risk. That risk being dice! If I wanted to write, I would, and I do! But within the collaborative world of roleplaying on a tabletop, it's not enough to just say what happens! It's gotta be OUT of your hands - like a die tumbling on the table, cocked against some dorito crumb and just barely giving you that 20. My journey started with Pathfinder 1e with friends, then did a hard shift into GURPS. A smattering of other systems made their way onto our table before we settled on 5e, playing that before coming full circle with Pathfinder 2e. Homecoming! While I appreciate systems and mechanics, my background as such has given me a strong narrative-bent to my Game Mastering. I love stories and I love characters more than I love critical hits (though those also slap immensely.) The collaborative nature of TTRPGs is something that genuinely cannot be replicated elsewhere, and I want to share that joy with my players and my fellow Game Masters.

My favorite system of all Time is

I have to say, as much as I love Pathfinder and World of Darkness, my favorite rules system has got to be GURPS. I've never seen any other system have such full, well-rounded character creation.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Creative, inventive, and insane. As a Game Master and Worldbuilder, I tend to lean into humor and absurdity.

How Moonlight Drive-In runs games

🎬 CAMPY CAMPAIGNS 🎬 I love retrofuturism, alternate history, all kinds of speculative worlds. I mix and merge genres and styles as I like, but have played some stuff straight - I've run Sci-Fi, Urban Fantasy, High Fantasy, Horror, Westerns, you name it. I'm first and foremost a GM that really likes to have fun and laugh. I like the inherent comedy in taking silly situations deadly serious, or taking serious situations with a tongue-in-cheek approach. There's going to be a lot of humor, but never taking priority over . . . 🎭 PLAYER-FOCUSED 🎭 . . . your character and your roleplay and the stories we'll tell. I want players who really put thought into their characters. I want players who engage with the setting, who read up on applicable lore/who can improvise and collaborate, who focus in on their character's personality as best they can. I don't require voices or anything, but I do expect a certain command of who you play as for the sake of increased narrative enagement, for everyone's benefit! Knowing who you are and what you can do can really lend itself to . . . ⚔️ TACTICAL COMBAT ⚔️ . . . being able to clean house when push comes to shove! Combat is a key feature in many-a-tabletop RPG, and where it allows, I'll be running my games as tactically as I can. I'm in no way trying to KILL any of you, but the sweat on your brow is what you'll remember - not the easy crits from pitiable fights. You'll all be battling foes against the backdrop of . . . 🗺️ IMMERSIVE SETTINGS 🗺️ . . . fully living worlds. Either previously established settings, such as beloved Golarion, or my own personal homebrewed worlds - some with years of development behind them! I'll make use of music, HeroForged NPCs with their own motives and voicework, personalized maps, the whole nine yards! No matter what you'll play in, I'll strive to make you feel like you fully fit into whatever we play, utilizing . . . 💬 DISCORD/FOUNDRY INTEGRATION 🎲 . . . background information that will be hosted on specific Discord servers that I'll provide invites for! Foundry will be our main stomping grounds for dice slinging, maxed out with helpful modules. I hope to see y'all there!

Moonlight Drive-In's ideal table

My table is welcoming of players from all walks of life and with all manner of skill level. I like to keep a fun, informal table where people can feel safe to let loose and have fun. Expect a lot of jokes, a lot of laughter, maybe some story swapping. Roleplaying is a social engagement as much as it is a game!
