About Padre

I've been playing for a little over 20 years and GMing for about 5. The best part of being a GM is seeing how the players take the world I am presenting or one I've created, adding to it and making it as much theirs as it is mine. To me, being a GM is about facilitating an environment for collaborative storytelling. My job is to present situations where there is no wrong way to resolve them so long as everyone is having fun in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

I became a GM because

I love facilitating fun! Being able to allow my players the space to be creative and building off of one another's ideas to create a world is something I very much enjoy.

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

Nyx - Patient, silly, and calculated

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

Playing Magic: The Gathering, gaming on my PC (WoW, BG3, Space Marine II, etc.), or painting minis while listening to an audio book.

How Padre runs games

Roleplay and Combat in equal measures, unless the party as a whole has a distinct preference. Rules are a framework. Rule of Cool over Rules as Written (within reason!)

I prep by

reviewing the notes from the previous session. When I started as a GM, I over-prepared for each session and most of my prep went to waste and led to burnout. Over the years, I've learned how I need to truly prepare for an excellent session.

My games focus on...

Telling a collaborative story. I provide the setting as well as the immediate and overarching objectives, but I let my players decide how to get there. Combat arises when it does and roleplaying.
