How Steven runs games

I am a versatile GM who tries to balance role play, combat, and exploration across the campaign depending on how players are reacting/engaging. I also enjoy playing with all experience levels and teaching new players. My philosophy when GMing is that players should be having fun and not penalized for not knowing every minutia of the game, but general knowledge of the character is appreciated where appropriate. Please let me know if you would like to have a session to learn more about one of the systems that I run.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Party engagement and the feeling of satisfaction when overcoming difficult challenges.

Rules are...

Excellent resources for balancing player interactions, but not to stand in the way of some epic actions on the part of the players.
