About Brian Espinosa

I'm an English educator who's been in love with tabletop games since high school. I enjoy the Game Master role because it lets me fully take advantage of the various storytelling and world building techniques I have built up in my education and personal life. I am always the person who works hard ahead of time so that others can have a great experience. I think my main goal when GMing is to create a memorable and meaningful experience for my players and myself.

Featured Prompts

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

1. Accommodating: I always try to make your ideas work within the game I have planned. 2. Exciting: Keep the action and intrigue going! No boring slogs or waiting around for monologues. 3. Interesting: I try to come up with interesting and unique locations, NPCs, and mechanics. Nothing Vanilla Here.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Trying to catch up on the latest nerd TV, Listening to TTRPG podcasts, finding ANOTHER nerdy hobby to obsess over, or spending time with my girlfriend.

How Brian Espinosa runs games

I enjoy playing into my player's strengths. Are they seeking tactical combat? I'll introduce a plethora of unique mechanics and challenges to face. Are they interested in roleplay? I enjoy crafting fun and interesting characters who players can have a genuine impact on. Are my players interested in exploring? I'm excited to creat cool hexcrawls and dungeons. Overall, I like to play to find out what happens. Players have control over the narrative, I just set everything up first.
