About ripp

Hello one and all! Welcome! I have been a Game Master since I was shown ttrpgs. What I've been told sets me apart as a GM is my balance between creativity, planning, and in-game "improv" or alternate storytelling. I love mixing up genres, providing a spin to what people regularly expect, and making sure each player/character gets a moment to shine. If you or others you know would like to try an rpg I have not listed, experienced as a player, or have GMed before, please still reach out! I would like to hear what you're interested in and would enjoy expanding my repertoire!

I got started GMing...

I played once, ONCE, as a pc in a ttrpg A (now) friend was running a one shot and right as we were wrapping up I asked for their Discord. We then talked for days on teaching me to GM and helping me GM. This friend also became a player in my games to help guide me to start. It was a wonderful thing.

My favorite shows/movies are

Mysteries or anything with a lot of layers! I enjoy detective stuff, thriller/horror, and heists. All that good stuff!

How ripp runs games

I absolutely love role play. Character development is enjoyable to not only encourage through the ttrpg but to watch players dive deeper, seeing what their characters can become. In addition, I do voices as best and as often as I can. I have many accents, tones, and cadences up my sleeve. There have been times I tend to insert another language here and there for an NPC. When it comes to combat I enjoy seeing where it can go! I tend to only use physical maps for special occasions and have never had players struggle with theater of the mind maps.

I deal with rules issues by...

Starting with what I am already doing in that moment, then can retcon either after the scene or session (whichever comes first). I always welcome players to let me know in a private message if they have concerns. Sometimes, I have my reasons for an adjustment which I will also share when asked.
