About me
Ever since early childhood I loved telling stories. Back in late 80s and early 90s I had "Grimm's fairlytales" on cassetes (for Gen Z: analogue recording of voice/music on magnetic tape ;D), and loved listening to them over and over again, to the point that I had them memorised and during frequent travels by train I used to entertain our travel companions with those tales. Word. by. word. No wonder then, that when I first learned about a GAME that lets you TELL STORIES I fell in love instantly and this love is burning brightly for over 20 years. Even despite angering some ancient being into cursing every single of my dicerolls.
GM Style
My rule 0 is "Everyone's job is to make sure everyone else is having fun" My fun comes from involving players in a story and watching how it evolves based on their choices and decisions. I firmly belive that actions should have consequences, be that good or bad, but choices do matter at my table, both small and big ones, When asked to explain what RPGs are in general I ofter compare them to love child of board game and theater, but theater, where only director knows the "script" and he has to adjust to main actors improvisation. There is no tolerance for lack of tolerance at my table. Null. If someone came to ruin others fun, Ill have no mercy and they will have one warning.

It was my first time running cyberpunk and honestly Michał made the whole experience really really good, he made the whole experience fun and unique, from the amount of creativity he allowed us, to giving us an interesting story. Totally recommend.

I've played with Michał for several months now, in a few different games and campaigns. He's a great GM: wonderful and patient with beginners, funny, good at world building, and very knowledgeable on game play. I'd highly recommend joining his sessions!

Being my first contact with Traveler he was helpful to help us get the basic grasp of the rules, and the Roll20 mechanics, to which I'm new, as well. Pointed out many things before we had to ask. The adventure map and the char sheets were pre-made so everything worked smoothly. We were a bit too cautious as players, so the GM had to send some 'trouble' our way to speed up the game.

We were playing Cyberpunk 2020. Our team layout was very unorthodox being it was our 1st time playing. So the session was made for a regular party. We ended up throwing multiple wrenches in Michals plans. He reacted on the fly and adapted the game to our shenanigans. Always a good time.

Michał does the WORK. He knows the rules and you can feel his passion for the setting in his choices for the scenarios and the descriptions he has. He makes sure that everyone has a fair chance to describe wha they are doing and is fun to talk about rules with. As a new player of the Cyberpunk 2020 system I find having someone like Michał instrumental in making sure I understand the system, feel inspired to learn more, and look forward to new sessions and adevntures.
