About Tomasz | SnowChickenLord

I have lived in 4 different countries throughout my life and like bringing this mixture of cultures and languages into my games. I enjoy blending different kinds of stories in my games. I get excited when players bring their own backgrounds and cultural experiences to the table, especially if I am unfamiliar with them. I got started running games at the age of 9 and tried a multitude of systems over the years. I love learning by challenging myself with a new kind of game or a new set of rules so I can bring forward clever lessons and mechanics into future play.

My favorite system of all Time is

Mothership. I love how honed in on what the game is trying to do the mechanics are. It is fast, automatically puts pressure on characters through the stress system and is perfect for space horror anything in my eyes.

How Tomasz | SnowChickenLord runs games

I decided to ask my players what they think I should tell anyone considering whether or not they wish to play with me. Here is what they said about me as a GM: - Runs games where player choices genuinely shape the direction of the story, giving characters room to breathe and act on their own terms - Pays close attention to what players are trying to do and why, reading the table carefully before moving things along - Descriptive, immersive quality to scenes and settings - Drawn to systems and mechanics that open up meaningful role play opportunities and reward interesting character decisions - Collaborative, narrative, role play focused - Likes building cool worlds and telling cool stories, enjoys players contributing to them - Actions have reasonable consequences - Dips into a little horror sometimes - Big on consent, buy-in and safety - Has a strong grasp on rules - Easy to get along with - Allows rule of cool - Brings a heroic feel to games when appropriate; everyone gets to play a god

Rules are...

there to facilitate an experience and serve the group's expectations. If a rule does not fulfill this purpose, we change it together with the group.

Tomasz | SnowChickenLord's ideal table

An ideal table is difficult to define for me, as different groups may have different reasons for coming together to play. I find it exciting to try new things in regards to rules, game systems, worlds, styles of play. All that said, there is some things that I notice in everyone I enjoy playing with. I love spending time with people who are focused on the game and not allowing distractions for themselves, who purposefully swing the spotlight to shine on characters who have not been active for a while and who attempt to act in ways that fit a character they chose to play instead of always optimizing for the most beneficial outcome.

I love it when a player

builds out aspects of the game world we didn't know about before. Give me new aesthetics, give me new characters, communities, technologies!

I think min/maxing...

is a very fun activity (I do it!) with one caveat: the whole group needs to do it or the min/maxer needs to be limited in what they min/max for as to not make other characters irrelevant. I even think min/maxing under some constraints is a very fun challenge.
