About Solar Jedi
Hi, I'm the Solar Jedi! I go by Solar, Jedi, GM or DM, (or Gregg). I am the head proprietor of Sixth Planet, my online gaming group and related store. I have been playing D&D for over three decades now! My favorite thing about D&D is the idea of creating a shared story together, which as a pass-time, has just narrowly avoided becoming a lost art! I am a fan of classic High Fantasy D&D, with settings similar to Faerun, Greyhawk, Dragonlance and the like. Conan meets Beastmaster meets LotR. I like to provide a balance of Role Playing, Exploration, and of course, Combat! I do character voices and accents and have been known to sing a sea shanty on a special occasion! I am a collector of fantasy miniatures and terrain for use with my games. I have thousands of miniatures, from tiny to colossal! I also craft, 3d print and paint. I enjoy setting up huge and immersive 3D scenes for my games! We have played in the dungeons beneath Waterdeep, in jungle terrain along the Sword Coast, in the frozen wastelands of the North and in the fiery depths of the Abyss! I typically utilize D&D Beyond and Discord to facilitate my games. When using 3D terrain I stream two cameras on the terrain and one on me! Check out my Adventure Page at - https://www.sixthplanet.us

How Solar Jedi runs games
I am a fan of classic High Fantasy D&D, with settings similar to Faerun, Greyhawk, Dragonlance and the like. Conan meets Beastmaster meets LotR. I like to provide a balance of Role Playing, Exploration, and of course Combat! I do character voices and accents and have been known to sing a sea shanty on special occasion! I am not a big fan of House Rules or Homebrew and will stick to the standard rules as much as possible, without getting bogged down by them. Moving the story forward is key!

My games focus on...
..a balance of Exploration, Social Interaction and Combat.
Rules are...
important, but secondary to Fun!
When it comes to voices
I think voices are great! It's important for Players and GMs alike to make it clear when they are speaking in-character, and there's no better way to do it than with a voice/accent that is not your own. That said, not everyone is comfortable "acting", and that is okay, too.
Solar Jedi's ideal table
I follow the rules without getting bogged down by them. This means that on occasion the Rule of Cool may prevail! The vibe at my table will vary depending on the game. While D&D is a balance of the three Pillars, DCC has less roleplaying but more puzzles, and Marvel Multiverse is all about the Action, and often mission-based.

I think metagaming...
..should be mostly avoided.
I think min/maxing...
..is perfectly acceptable. Make your character however you want, within the provided rules.
My table is not the place for...
..constant jokes and wisecracks. While the game is fun, and at times certainly light-hearted, constant joking detracts from the story. My stories will include mystery and intrigue and tragic failures and wild successes and everything in between!
