GM Style

If there's a system I haven't run before, I learn it quickly and adapt my game to maximize player enjoyment. My games are inclusive and welcoming, with one key rule: while character conflicts can add to the story, harassment of other players and real-world hate speech are never tolerated. I genuinely enjoy seeing players bring their characters to life and work to fully integrate their personalized backstories into the campaign. I also ensure that players are satisfied with their character progression by making myself available to discuss ways to enhance gameplay—both individually and as a group. Some ways I support player engagement include: House rule voting to shape the game to the group's preferences Flexible scheduling to make it easier for players to attend sessions In-between game activities like shopping and crafting to keep the world dynamic My goal is to create an immersive and enjoyable experience where every player feels valued and invested in the story.
