How Shannon Russell runs games

My Approach I believe in creating a collaborative storytelling environment where every player has a voice and a role in shaping the narrative. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to the world of RPGs, my goal is to ensure you have an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. I am perfectly comfortable with theater of the mind as well as battle maps, ensuring that each session is tailored to the preferences and needs of the players. What I Offer Custom Campaigns: Tailored adventures that fit your group's preferences and play style. One-Shots: Short, stand-alone sessions perfect for trying out new characters or systems. Workshops: Sessions focused on teaching the rules, character creation, and the art of role-playing. Why Choose Me? Choosing me as your Game Master means embarking on a journey filled with excitement, creativity, and camaraderie. I am dedicated to making each session a highlight of your week, with stories that stay with you long after the dice have been put away. One of my most memorable campaigns featured a Demonic Strawberry Shortcake invading the RIFTS universe, accompanied by Bitch Pudding, No-Care Bears, and Mickey Mouse minions. This campaign is still talked about 10 years later for its originality and fun.
