About me
I'm a Lancer GM of Eastern European descent, and I run games with an Ace Combat and Project Wingman vibe. I have received feedback about being a very fair GM if absolutely nothing else. Every game I run will use some standard safety tools, and will be run on FoundryVTT with accompanying ambience and handy plugins! I try to make everyone feel at home at the table, even if their characters are very, very far away from their own. I'm quite forgiving, as we're all only human, and I make mistakes, too. I am also very receptive to honest, detailed feedback, even if it's railing about how much I suck, so do not be afraid to go beyond Stars and Wishes and just infodump!
GM Style
I tend to favour combat in terms of running games, though I am trying to work more narrative into my mission design! That said, I love role-playing and facilitating stories, so I will try and encourage that and creative storytelling where possible. I also like letting players have a hand in the world building through small touches.

Enjoyed Lancer integration with Foundry. Made gameplay much easier and smoother than learning on paper.

Robert knows what it takes to set up and run a game of Lancer in Foundry. His music choices set the scene perfectly and he's wonderfully accepting of all players, regardless of experience. His GMing style was literally my jumping-off point into the world of Lancer GMing and I will always be grateful for that. (Wrath of the Kraken releasing when?!?)

If you’re looking for an inclusive, safe GM who allows for player creativity and knows the rules, Ender’s a perfect choice! He’s also incredibly beginner-friendly and knows how to break down any complicated game mechanics. Ender is a terrific storyteller who creates an engaging, interesting experience by setting the mood with awesome soundscapes and music. One of the biggest kicks I get out of games with him is all of his amazing and fun character voices! They’re always so distinctive and make the game that much more immersive. He’s so flexible and constantly works to make sure the game is tailored to the players. If you ever have any feedback, questions, or concerns for him as a GM, he wants to hear it so he can make sure the experience is as enjoyable as possible for you and everyone involved! I highly recommend Ender and hope you get the chance to have him as a GM!

What WASN'T great about our game? Immersive music, well and detailed worldbuilding, NPCs felt more human than just side characters, and the roleplay in between was incredible. Our Session 0 was fantastic. We were asked to fill out a survey based on a G/Y/R system, were given a list of hard no's, and the things we didn't have to expect in this campaign. What I like about Lancer, and especially this campaign was its inclusiveness.
