About Solomon

I was introduced to TTRPGs when I was about 8 or 9 years old by and friend and I was instantly hooked on it. Years passed and I found TTRPG media through shows like Critical Role, High Rollers, and Dimension 20. What hooked me were the deep emotions that people felt and the incredible adventures and stories they told. I longed to play all through high school and then when I got to college, I found a group with my roommates. My GM was incredible and the stories we preceded to tell for the following years were character shaping for me. Finally playing consistently, I just couldn't get enough, so I decided to start running my own game. It started with Dungeons and Dragons Tyranny of Dragons, and then moved forward to a homebrewed world of the high-seas and piracy. My highest priority has been making sure that players feel involved and safe to allow them to feel vulnerable and experience the growth that I have as well through the stories and adventures.

I became a GM because

I needed friends to play the game with, and it was much easier to get them to join the game as a player than to convince someone to run the game.

My favorite system of all Time is

Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I feel like so much of the rules are open ended enough that I can implement just about anything our imagination can think of, and I have spent so much time with it, that I definitely have a strong bias.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Playing sports, writing music, world-building and map-making. I work as an audio technician for concerts and live events. And I love spending time out with my wife and out friends.

How Solomon runs games

I love goal oriented, high stakes combat. I love when players take big swings in the world in search of an incredible story. I love when players make connections with NPCs and with one another. I love multi-level combats - large scale wars and battles, naval combats, as well as traditional combat. I love roleplaying and getting involved. I am not incredible with voices or accents, but I love trying and making characters unique in other ways.

I prep by

Listening to fantasy themed music, and learning about real world history, helping inspire me. I read and listen to many books and podcasts. And then I just enjoy drawing and making maps.

Rules are...

Very important, but ultimately they are a tool meant to help us tell a story together. They are a great starting place, but I think they are meant to be bent and molded in a way that will help us have the most fun possible.

When it comes to voices

I will consistently try, but I am admittedly not good at them. I am especially bad at accents, but I still always try to make the characters feel unique and individual.

Solomon's ideal table

I love a table that just enjoys being together. I like players that are willing to take big swings to tell a story, not always playing it safe and I love making those swings worth taking. I love when players take the time to get to know one another's characters and I want everyone to feel like friends throughout the game. The table is meant to be a safe space for everyone, and a place where we can feel as we tell these incredible stories.

I am for a vibe that's...

Laid back, easy going, and overall accepting of everyone.

I think min/maxing...

Is fun! If it is what you are into, please go for it! If its not something that you are into, then don't worry about it. We are just here to have fun together.

My perfect party mix is

Players that are playing characters that they are interested in playing. Don't worry about party composition or balance, just play the class and character that you are excited to!
