About Shawn (old school)
Hello future players! I’m Shawn. Thank you for the interest in one of my games. The game and community have never been more accessible, fun, and easy to learn for new players, while remaining fun for long time players like myself. Although some recent decisions made by Hasbro might have unfortunately separated the empierced players little. There's A lot of new games coming out. I myself am looking forward to the release of DC20 and looking to expand my profile to include Call of Cthulu soon. D&D is not dying, but I'm still running the 2014 version of 5e. I like this version, it only needs minimal house rules. It's fun and works fine. I look forward to running a game for you. There was a LOT of good content in the older editions, and I was there to see it (I still own a lot of it). I bring this knowledge, along with the skill of being a professional artist, to my games. I use visual handouts and references to enhance the Emerson in my games (many of which are my own custom art) I also create almost all of my own maps. You’ll see lots of original and unique locations accurately depicting what is happening in your game (which are still easy to read and understand) I have several Campaigns basically ready to go in addition to whatever current games are listed. I'm to work with new players and/or build custom campaigns to fit what an establish group may be looking for. I look forward to hearing from you

When I'm not running games I'm...
Hopefully doing some artwork. My original dream job was to be a comic book artist. However, All the games I post here on start playing feature MY original artwork. I would be happy to create an Image or custom map for you, just pm me and we'll work out the details.
How Shawn (old school) runs games
I would describe my style of game mastering as “a world building storyteller who runs a laid back game without an ending set in stone” because my players choices DO matter and change the world that they are playing in. My settings tend to have a tone similar to that old Disney cartoon THE BLACK CALDRON, dark and dramatic, but still fun with enjoyable characters to interact with. A place where character’s actions and motivations MATTER in the story WE’RE creating. Although you won’t have to be a great improv voice actor to participate in the role play I provide (honestly I’m not either lol). I will still introduce you to interesting NPCs to interact with. Often you’ll help save from villains who you’ll grow to fear and hate (or love lol) before ultimately defeating them (Or not? Like I said, your choices matter.) while making important decisions and trying to fulfill a story arc happening in the game.
