My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
Cosmere RPG, Heart: The City Beneath, and Stonetop. Cosmere because... obviously lol. Heart because the setting is insane and really cares about what players want. Stonetop because it makes the quiet little moments hit just as hard as the big ones.
My favorite books are
I am an extremely predictable fantasy sweat lol. Stormlight is at the top, I love basically anything Sanderson, and LOTR will always be up there for me. Lately I’ve also been really into the Powder Mage trilogy.
My favorite system of all Time is
Stonetop and it’s not close lol. I LOVE narrative systems, and Stonetop genuinely changed how I GM. A huge part of my style comes from letting player choices and consequences actually write the story.
How Nerdyindeed (Geoff) runs games
🎭 Roleplay-first storytelling where characters and their choices drive the campaign 🌎 Living worlds that remember what you have done and respond 🧭 Adventures that can go somewhere neither you nor I expected ⚔️ Combat that is dangerous, meaningful, and has real narrative consequences 🎨 Highly polished maps, journals, tokens, and artwork. 🎵 Music, ambience, and lighting used to pull you into the moment 📚 Encyclopedic knowledge of Cosmere lore 🧑🏫 Beginner-friendly games where you can learn naturally by playing

I once ran a session...
. . . using only Jenga blocks. The game is called Dread and you should absolutely check it out!
My favorite trope is...
. . .“okay but... are we SURE that person is actually bad?”
My games focus on...
. . narrative freedom and a world that moves in response to player choices. Not even doing that entirely selflessly lol.

I am for a vibe that's...
. . . lots of roleplay, lots of character stuff. Combat probably happens a little less often, but when it DOES happen there are real stakes.
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
If you like exploration, mysteries, stakes, and character arcs, you’ll probably love my table.
I love it when a player
...has opinions about the things around them. I LOVE a character who cares about things, for better or worse. "Bad" decisions make great stories!
