About Brandon

I'm a long-time roleplayer and GM. I love running games and taking players through exciting story-driven adventures with cool moments and fun action while weaving in impactful moments for their characters. I'm a game designer by day and have worked on properties like Star Wars, Marvel, and Lord of the Rings, but I also love building new worlds to explore. I play a lot of different RPGs and I'm always looking to try more. I'd love to share some adventures with you!

How Brandon runs games

I like to build exciting narratives and follow where the players want to go. Uncertain alliances, secrets and mysteries, and a dose of danger are all on the table. I like to keep things moving at a good pace, but the players are always my top priority. I like to use rules to add drama and tension, but I'm not a strict adherent to the system and often follow "rule of cool" to make the best experience for players. I love to weave PC backgrounds into the story to add personal investment. I like serious stakes but plenty of room for lighthearted jokes and brightly-colored adventures. Striking the right tone for players is important, but if you're looking for grimdark I'm probably not your guy. I also use safety devices to make sure we aren't going to go anywhere the players don't want to go.
