About PalindromeRPG
Welcome, adventurers! I’m PalindromeRPG, aka Paul Savas, a seasoned Game Master with a passion for storytelling, creativity, and fun! With nearly 30 years as a professional theatre practitioner (although have recently hung up my last costume) and a lifetime of Dungeons and Dragons experience. I’ve been GMing since 2018 and GMed my first session on SPG on January 4th, 2025. My games are all about fun and engaging adventures. I love creating worlds that are rich in detail, filled with intriguing NPCs, and brimming with both silly and serious moments. Whether it’s an epic quest to save the realm or a hilariously chaotic goblin pie-eating contest, I aim to challenge my players with a mix of intense encounters, strategic combat, and delightful roleplay opportunities. Expect a game where you’re free to be as creative as you want, where we embrace the unexpected, and where laughter is as crucial as loot! Let’s dive into a world of imagination together, build stories that will be talked about for years, and most importantly, have a fantastic time! Ready to roll the dice and embark on a memorable adventure? Let’s play!

How PalindromeRPG runs games
“What will be the most fun for the group?” That’s the question I make sure I am always asking myself when crafting encounters for a VTT or IRL session, or making an unexpected in-game ruling. My session notes include a section about what excites the players…and regularly craft future sessions based on those observations of the players interaction with the story. I endeavor to create a fun, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every player feels free to express their creativity and dive deep into the world and their character as they wish. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a first-time player, you’ll find a place at my table where your ideas matter, your choices shape the story, and every session is a unique experience filled with laughter and fun. I put a strong focus on roleplay, encouraging players to step into their characters and engage with the world in meaningful and sometimes wonderfully silly ways; taking my cues from you. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to develop your character’s story, interact with memorable NPCs, and shape the narrative through your decisions. Combat in my games is dynamic and thrilling, balancing challenge with a sense of adventure. Expect battles that are not just about dice rolls but also about clever tactics, teamwork, and storytelling moments that make every encounter memorable.One character recently received a Sending from an NPC during a battle. Whether you're traversing dangerous landscapes, navigating political intrigue, or uncovering forgotten lore, there's always something new to discover. Above all, my games are about having fun together. I believe in creating a space where everyone feels welcome to be themselves, laugh, take risks, and share in the magic of storytelling. So, come as you are, and let's have some fun! The perfect player for my games loves to immerse themselves in the story, embraces both the serious and the silly, and thrives on collaborative play coupled with knowing their character's features; creative, open to bold choices, enjoys dynamic combat, eager to explore and uncover the world's hidden mysteries…all while having fun! All are welcome. No room for hate!

I deal with rules issues by...
A section in my session notes is "GM to do". If there's a rules question that would break the pace of the game to resolve, I will make a clear ruling and tell the players I am noting this question and will send out a ruling for future sessions in Discord or at the top of the next session.
Rules are...
Awesome! And while we'll adhere to them, sometimes they need to be adjusted in a fair way to ensure group fun and player satisfaction. Rule of Cool wins the day most every time!
