About Sick

=== Sick Games === My name is Marcus. I've been GM-ing games for about 15 years. I started with D&D and soon after I started playing other TTRPGs. I love tailoring player experiences and providing unexpected narrative pay-offs. I do my best to balance roleplay, tactics, and player characters' personal stories. I offer tables that prioritize mutual respect, well-balanced gameplay, and tailor-made experiences. My past players say my games are immersive and evenly paced; I do my best to make sessions feel cinematic. I expect players at my tables to be respectful, curious, and willing to engage with the story.

How Sick runs games

I prioritize player agency above all else. My GMing style adapts to the choices the players make on their adventures. I always start campaigns with a session 0 in order to establish player expectations and to clarify the kind of adventure they're in for.

Sick's ideal table

I try to strike a balance that has players engaged in the game and comfortable enough to crack jokes. My games are cinematic, player-driven, and social experiences. I'm open to having players of all experience levels and play styles. Positive intentions and engaging with the game are a must!
