About Rune

Hello there! I go online by Rune, but you may also call me Greg. I have been running tabletop games for almost over two decades as of writing this! When I started, I was tossed into the Dungeon Master position for D&D due to everyone else wanting to play a character in a story. . . and I have never looked back. Truth be told, I love to DM. I love to tell a great story that carries everyone's characters to let the grow, evolve, be placed in light and heavy situations. Storytelling is what I am all about when it comes to TTRPGs. Although, storytelling can entail combat, roleplay, and situations in-between, I love it all. I also am going to school for Computer Science!

How Rune runs games

I am told I am usually a fairly laid-back and easy going DM. I enjoy when everyone gets into the spirit of the game, be it combat and Role Play. I like having a chill and fun time, and I do hope that you want the same. Sometimes scenes can be tense (and fun), but the overall feeling is what I mean towards being chill. I am quite open about my rolls unless the rules say otherwise. This means I will not fudge the numbers which can be both good or bad. Many PCs and villains have perished due to this! I will also be mindful of the group's desires. If a scene is making everyone satisfied, you'll be kept in it as long as the group wants to be. Role Play is great. Perhaps my voices are not the best, but I try to give every NPC their own voice. I will also do my best to describe settings, add ambience be it music, maps (if called for), and other digital props as seen fit to pull you into the game. I also enjoy combat and enjoy playing each creature/npc/etc. as I feel they should be played given their information, story, etc. Your characters can influence my stories and change the direction of the games. I feel the story should be about the group, their growth, their struggles, and the overall adventure that you all make of it. I will call upon you to help narrate your character's actions unless you want me to. When you do something and you see it in your mind's eye being played out, it is better to do that than me guessing. However, if you want me to describe portions or the entire action, I can do that as well.

I prep by

Reading the entire campaign! I cannot steer things if I do not know what is on the way! I look at online reviews and suggestions. I take the beats of the story and sessions that did real well or not at all, and fix the weak points. I also think of how to change parts for the group for the better!

My games focus on...

Giving you, the players, a story and what you want. I will gladly add story, harder, regular, or easy battles, NPCs that have depth to interact with, and a great time. While I will also focus on what the campaign offers, you, as players always come first.

When it comes to voices

I will try to give every character some different voice. While my vocal cords are as they are, I will do my best to make every NPC seem different due to how they talk, accents, among other difference. I also note-down prior to games how they should sound like and practice the voices as well.

Rune's ideal table

From other people, I am called 'chill'. I do not get mad about things in the game, I will always root for players, but the dice will fall as they fall. Otherwise, the table can get very engaged, but can also relax at points where things are not getting too heavy. I also ask if players are idling while not involved, to listen to what is happening. I do not mind repeating things such as names (Some can get complex!) and other important happenings, but I will get a bit impatient if I have to keep repeating myself for story beats. When playing the game, I ask for you to get into what is going on. I will allow PVP -if- and only -if- the story calls for it. D&D and PF2e has some things mechanically where that can happen. Delta Green can just have it happen depending on the situation. Otherwise, this is a team-game and I will not tolerate such heavy shenanigans. I have and still run games for both neurodivergent and non. I understand being neurodivergent, being one myself. I am also very LGBTQ+ and if anyone has an issue with that, this is not your game. I will also do my best to ensure all of you are treated well. Any issues? Let me know. Something in the game bothering you? Let me or the whole group know and we can pause to sort things out.
