About Steven!
Hello! I am Steven, a dedicated storyteller, improviser, and DM with 4 years of experience. My favorite things in the world are telling moving stories and creating social bonds. I have played at least a dozen individual games, with at most 5 long-term games going at one time, and I hope there are hundreds more in both of our futures!

When I'm not running games I'm...
writing, sewing, playing video games, or spending time with people. I get the utmost joy in life from creating things and forming relationships. :)
How Steven! runs games
I have a great time with all aspects of D&D! Primarily I enjoy in-depth roleplay with character bonds, story meaning and implications, and giving my players meaningful opportunities to affect the world around them. I try to create combat with depth, interesting story implications and ties, alternative win conditions, and interesting consequences to failure (though I do my best to avoid meaningless character deaths). I see a game of D&D as the collective work of DM and players creating a story together in a balance of equal creative input. It means more than anything to me that worlds I put together as a DM are added to by character choices and background details, and can be changed by the choices of the player characters in order to tell a story we can all be proud of.

My games focus on...
the interaction of characters with other people and their world. I try my best to make the player characters and their actions mean something!
Steven!'s ideal table
I am an actor and storyteller type of player, so my writing tends to favor those archetypes. However! I greatly enjoy pushing my boundaries and honing my craft, and creating games that any kind of play group can fit! The vibe of my table is usually more serious. I don't particularly enjoy over-the-top comedy games, as I like to get genuinely engrossed and invested in my characters, combat, and roleplay.

I love it when a player
engages with the game and seeks out reasons to care about the world! Of course I will do my best to make that easy for you, but it's lovely when a player meets me half way.
