About Russell "Rusty Blacksmith"
Ho there, traveler! There are fortunes to be found in the deep, dark places of the world, should ye survive what horrors await ye there... so be ye a hero, or be ye a coward? I've been playing RPGs for about a decade, and DM'ing since day one. I got started with Pathfinder (back in the 4e days when the game store grognards insisted on it), but I quickly branched out into tons of other games. I love checking out different systems and mechanics, and trying out homebrew rules and settings. But at the end of the day it always comes back to good, old-fashioned fantasy adventure.

How Russell "Rusty Blacksmith" runs games
My games lean heavily on player agency, freedom and creativity. I think the most fun games are truly self-guided adventures. I act as a referee, adjudicating the dice and player decisions to facilitate emergent stories. I like to facilitate a sense of community among fellow adventurers that is welcoming and rewarding for newcomers and experienced players alike.
