I got started GMing...

By spending my summer vacation in college (3 months) making a whole thumb drive of characters from the 2014 Players Handbook, and made my first campaign within 4-5 months to my first gaming group.

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

How Rob the Robber runs games

My Gm style is a mix of story driven plot, with detailed visuals of worldbuilding with the occasional character voices here and there. The one I do for my games it have the players to be apart of the creating process (where it be helping name a random NPC or naming a village or location), just to help them feel like they are help creating the world they will be playing in; and create to great memories in battle. Speaking of battle; I implement a Critical Failure rule; whether a character crit failed on a melee, ranged, or spell attack (both Player and NPC), have to roll for the outcome and suffer the consequences. But we have fun here, and I and will not try to kill any character; if it happens It was a total accident lol.

I deal with rules issues by...

looking up the rules to see what the rule actually states, and/or look online on thread posts to see if others had the same issue and go from there. I also consult my expert players for a second opinion to help with my understanding of the rules and then make a decision once I have all the data.

I prep by

having my games be 60% planned, 30% improvised (for whenever the party derails the story or game), and 10% playing games when I ask them to name a NPC/Town or wait for them to say something and then I will use what they said against them in the game.

My games focus on...

giving a memorable experience that everyone can enjoy and want to return to every week.

Rob the Robber's ideal table

My games are fun and very interactive. I keep it engaging and very relax in terms of allowing homebrew or creativity to be explored from others. I do my best to listen to everyone and make sure that even though you let a lot work out; I strive to focus on game balancing and doing the best to make the game fair and playable for other players. I'm very punctual and on time. I patience for others when they have questions and I try to help with the players character development, character leveling and helping the participants decide where they wanna go with their characters.

I love it when a player

accidentally says something or suggests something to the DM. Its perfect bait to use whatever the players say as tools against them in my games (inset maniacal laugh here).

My perfect party mix is

a general mix of a few expert players, a few medium level players and a few beginner level players. Each one helping each other out and we all learn something new about the games and encourage everyone to do their best.
