About River_runs_games

Hello there! Welcome in, take a seat and all that. My name is River, I am an actor, producer, pretend-writer and all around nerd. I ran my very first game of D&D 10 years ago now - and I've been playing various ttrpgs for almost 14. My focus is on roleplay-forward, 'sandbox' style games. Meaning I hope to allow player characters to have a big impact on the world and story. Before each game starts we'll have some time about the kind of narrative you want to experience and how I can tailor what I've got prepared to that :) I hope to be a warm and helpful introduction if you've never played the game before or a more custom experience for those veteran players. Queer-friendly, new player friendly... Whoever you are I aim to make sure you have a great time at my table.

I started running games because...

No one else was going to do it and I wanted to play. Now I like running the game more than playing.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Dread, I'm sure I could use those jenga blocks in many helpful ways 10 Candles, so I could start a fire and contemplate my inevitable death and Oh, Dang! Bigfoot stole my car with my friends birthday present inside in the hopes that bigfoot would show up somehow and help me out.

My favorite books are

Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Cinematic, evocative and neatly bound with logic Also Terry Pratchett's Discworld For chaotic shenanigans that make you see the world a different way.

How River_runs_games runs games

When GMing, I like to create an immersive, totally new world to get lost in for a couple of hours. I think of myself as more of a 'taxi-driver' than 'novelist'. Meaning, I like to follow where the table wants to go and the stories they are interested in and I view my job is to fill this world with interesting characters and story hooks for you to interact with.
