About Adam

Hi, I’m Shin, I’m a guy from Ohio, and I’m just some dude who likes being stupid on the internet and playing dice games. I’m typically very laid back but I can get very passionate and get extremely into niche things, and I love video games and television shows and movies, as well as books and RPGs. I like to make friends with my players or at least be friendly, and I’m typically good natured, when I’m not sleep deprived. My Experience: Now DM-ing for about seven years or more, I started out with 5e as most have but quickly branched out into many other systems. I'm constantly trying new things and have quickly settled into a Niche with narrative roleplay systems like Public Access as well as other crunchier systems like Pathfinder.

How Adam runs games

My GM Style: I’d describe myself as very balanced. I adore goofing around with my players when times call for it, but also enjoy serious scenes or drama, so I’d say the setting and the story call for an adaptation of how I act. I go into a game hyping myself up to bring to life the environment as best I can, though my innate goofiness can’t help but slip the façade. You can’t have ANY story without levity, after all. Horror is meaningless without release, tragedy is the other mask with comedy, and action must be tempered with realistic humor, so I tend to take the time to joke. getting those running gags going is too good sometimes. I’m always changing, as humans are wont to do, so I always try new things and I’m eager to help players work on a character and make them special and fun, as well as I have a backlog of things to do and games to run. I might be different this year to the next and so on, and variety is the spice of life. For these reasons you can say I’m something of a mix of everything: Narrator, Warlord, NPC Hoarder, Creator, Free Spirit, Improviser, Chaos Gremlin, and Immerser, with a dash of homebrew to boot. Wonder what those all combine to make?

My games focus on...

Fun and Immersion, as well as companionship and learning. by the time you play a game with me, you should have at the end gotten a feel for what a game is like - and learned whether you can love it or not. and if you can? well I hope I can make that experience all the more enjoyable.

Rules are...

Rules are a guideline - flexible and meant to be observed, but not beholden to. you can change, bend, and work around them - but you need to always come back around in the end. fun is more important than anything else.

When it comes to voices

I always try to give a character a unique voice and manner of speaking - I want you to remember who they are as soon as they speak. A voice is how we show who we are; everyone wants to find theirs - a character is no different.

Adam's ideal table

My ideal table is a group of people all on the same page that we're here to have a good time; just as enthusiastic to put in the effort to enjoy themselves as I am to entertain them.
