About me

Hi! I'm Andy, and I love TableTop Role-Playing Games! Some things to know about my games: ~[ Everyone is welcome! ]~ Our table is a safe space for all identities. Come as you are and be who you want to be. Intolerance of any kind is not tolerated. All levels of experience are welcome. ~[ Consent is mandatory. ]~ Your character is your creation, and no player—GM included—has the right to interact with your character in a way you do not consent to. ~[ Choices have consequences. ]~ I run games set in worlds with internal logic and depth—places that live and evolve—where characters' actions have meaningful consequences. [~ We're in this together. ]~ Our game world is a collaboration. Players can add detail and depth to whatever extent they are comfortable with. Backstories and interactions can lead to new storylines and shape our narrative. ~[ Story, not sport. ]~ I favor story-driven over tactical play. We can go sessions without combat or hours without a roll of the dice. It is all about the narrative we create. If you are looking for a place to test a min/max build or amass a collection of powerful magic items, you might be disappointed with how I run things. Please reach out if this sounds like the game you want to play. I'm excited to play with you! https://allmylinks.com/nerdronomicon

GM Style

~[ Narrative-based ]~ I am a narrative-based GM—I love stories, and I love to create them with others. The narratives I favor have moral, political, and psychological depth. Characters are expected to make sense narratively. ~[ Character-driven ]~ The world we play in is a collaboration. Character backstories, interactions, and player input are part of the story. To whatever extent players are comfortable with, we work together to build a world for their characters to inhabit. ~[ Role-playing ]~ My games can be role-play heavy. There is an expectation that players will choose their character's actions based on who the character is, not who the player is. That doesn't mean anyone is expected to speak with an accent or speak in the first person. If you like to use accents—great; if you don't—great! I switch between first- and second-person, only occasionally altering my voice. ~[ Player consent ]~ I honor the players' character concepts and work within those boundaries. Nothing that happens to your character happens without your consent. ~[ Theater of the mind ]~ Most of the time spent during my sessions is in the theater of the mind, and I only use maps when a description is not enough. ~[ Digital tools ]~ I run most of my sessions using Roll20, though I am looking into Role and Alchemy. In- and out-of-session communication is handled on the Nerdronomicon Discord (https://t.co/tqEFmUjr3M). Though appearing on video isn't strictly necessary, it is encouraged, and you must use audio. ~[ Safety tools ]~ I believe strongly in player consent and safety. My primary safety tool is open communication; I am always available to my players. Before beginning a campaign, we establish lines and veils—the X card is always available during sessions—I regularly check in individually and as a group.
