About Simon Magnus
I've wanted to explore other worlds for as long as I've been able to speak and read. When a family friend placed a D&D manual in my tiny hands, they doomed me to a life spent in those other worlds. I don't regret a single moment spent there. I've been playing TTRPGs regularly for over twenty years now (more than half of them as an adult!), and have never gotten tired of it. Whether it's inhabiting the role of a character unlike myself or facilitating a world for other characters to trailblaze, I just can't get enough of this form of storytelling. One of my favorite parts of this hobby is watching how different people react to the circumstances of these worlds. That's why I love GMing so much - I can't wait to be surprised!

How Simon Magnus runs games
I believe one of the greatest strengths of TTRPGs is their ability to create unique, emergent stories built upon the agency of its main cast (the Player Characters!). That's why I endeavour to provide a deep, interesting world for players to explore and try my best to serve as a neutral arbiter for those explorations. You can expect to face challenging encounters and tense moments, and when you triumph you'll know you did so on your own merits. I trust my players to forge their own narrative journey, and I've never been disappointed by the incredible stories they create. I strive to create a welcome and inclusive table. Everybody should feel safe and respected, and my wish is for all players to feel they can fully participate in the game without fear of discrimination, harassment, or exclusion.
