About Cyric657

I’m a disabled Veteran with plenty of free time to dedicate to making my campaigns fun and enjoyable. I’ve been playing since I was 13 and am now 50, with experience as both player and DM across systems from 1st edition D&D to 5th, plus most of White Wolf’s catalog and many out-of-print games. I focus on homemade campaigns with a few house rules, fueled by my love for all things fantastical and creative. Intricate backstories and great roleplay are my favorites, and I happily welcome new players, creating a pleasant environment to learn. If you’re looking for an open-minded DM ready to craft a fun, laughter-filled campaign for everyone, I’m your person.

I got started GMing...

It's actually a long story, but suffusive to say I have been doing it since 1988

My favorite shows/movies are

Pretty much anything from the Sci-fi genre, but some of my definite favorites are: Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, Pacific Rim, all the Alien movies, all the Predator movies, and the MCU, The Boys, The Watchmen and many more.

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

I spend my time reading, writing, or doing some kind of research related to the games that I run. Other than that, I spend time with my wife and watch TV and movies in the genres I play doing more research.

How Cyric657 runs games

I firstly love a good story, but I believe every good story has to have its gritty, hanging on by the skin of your teeth tactical combat. I love freethinking. Sometimes the rules were made to be bent a little if it errs on the side of the players or makes something more realistic. For me there is nothing better than when I make an over-the-top encounter that the players think their way out of. I like to see well thought out and enjoyable characters that make sense in a fantasy or for that matter whatever setting I'm running... From Aliens to Lancer to Mutants and Masterminds if the characters want a fun ride, with some laughs on the way I'm the man for you.
