About Steven
I've been playing tabletop role-playing games since "elf" was a class in Dungeons & Dragons (that's around 40 years, y'all) and have extensive experience playing and running multiple systems, including D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars, and Monster of the Week to name just a few. But really, I'm doing this because I love role-playing games. I love the *story* that a GM and players create together. I am or have been a: writer, publisher, renter of virtual apartments for real money, injector of radioactive materials (for the forces of good, usually), sociologist, teacher, SJW, neurospicy, and dedicated to punching up.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
D&D 5e, Monster of the Week, and Call of Cthulhu. Because I'm familiar enough with all of those systems that I would be able to tell most stories using those rulesets, regardless of what kind of tone or story it is.
How Steven runs games
* I tend to be roleplay-heavy; while combat definitely occurs, if you're wanting a slug-em-out very tactical dungeon crawl, I may not be a good fit. * I adore the rule of cool. If you can figure out a reason why you should have a chance to do the thing, you'll get a chance. * Safety not guaranteed. I do not plan (or try) to kill characters, but I don't control your dice or Leroy Jenkins. Likewise, your characters have the freedom to ignore plot hooks, etc -- but the consequences may range from "boredom" to "the world blows up later." * I know what triggers are; I have several from past trauma. I respect and honor triggers and will work around them. Content warnings will be given up front for anticipated possible issues.
