About Reven XI (Kevin)

My father taught me to play D&D when I was a little kid and I've loved RPGs my whole life. I love getting behind the DM screen (virtually) and making space for people to tell great stories in a fun and interactive game environment.

How Reven XI (Kevin) runs games

The best description for a good D&D game is "improv, but with dice". My games are fun, relaxed, and open. I like players to explore creative problem solving solutions and build interesting and unique characters. If you throw out an idea, I will try to build on it and throw it back because I think those interactions make the best stories. My measure of success is to see my players laughing, smiling, and having a good time at the table. When it comes to running the game actions, I am a rules encyclopedia. I will -- Help guide smooth combat encounters -- Deliver confident rulings on how spells, skills, and items work -- Create opportunities for you to express your character mechanically as well as narratively I am very sensitive to the dynamics of a roleplaying group and I will deliberately and explicitly move the spotlight to make sure everyone at the table has a chance to participate. I will learn your character sheets and create opportunities for each player to use their unique abilities, proficiencies, and mechanics. I do accents and voices and I encourage my players to lean into that as well. It's a lot of fun to cut loose, be weird, and get into the spirit of the game.

Reven XI (Kevin)'s ideal table

My favorite players are players who take play seriously. Players who come to the table to try to make it fun for each other are the best players. Jokes and silly voice, getting into character, building the story - these are all collaborative team efforts and everyone needs to be involved and engaged to have the best experience.

I love it when a player

I love it when players address other players in character to help move the story forward.

I think metagaming...

Metagaming should be avoided. Out of character and above table talk can be fine in very small doses, but the fun of RPGs is to embody the characters and their worldview.

My table is not the place for...

My table is not the place for mean people, rude behavior, or hogging the spotlight. D&D is a team game and getting along with the other players is fundamental.
