About Reed
Hi there! I'm a writer, storyteller, and long-time DM and I want to host a table for you. I specialise in custom, homebrew stories, but I'm equally comfortable in running premade adventures if that is what you'd prefer. I try to foster a friendly, inclusive sort of table, and for long-running campaigns I run a Session 0 ahead of time to try to gauge what you're looking for from the game, and what to avoid in order to keep you comfortable. I am comfortable running many different game systems, including Dungeons and Dragons (2e and forward), but also Vampire: the Masquerade, FATE, Pathfinder 2e, and Daggerheart. However, I'm also a big fan of both TTRPGs in general and trying new things, and so I'd be very happy to attempt to learn a different system if you're looking to try something different and can't find a GM who specialises in it. I'm excited to try running your session, and hope you'll reach out so we can work out a table that you'll enjoy. Je parle également français, et je peut courir ton jeu en français si vous voulez.

How Reed runs games
As a Game Master, I specialise in creating immersive, player-driven experiences that adapt to your group’s preferences and play style. I focus on detailed worldbuilding and open-ended exploration, giving players the freedom to chart their own course while keeping the story grounded. If the group ever feels directionless, I provide gentle guidance to help everyone stay engaged. Even with pre-written modules, I build upon them to make the experience unique and personal. I view the rules as a framework to ensure fairness and consistency, supporting the game without limiting creativity. While I strive to keep the game fun and engaging, I also work to maintain balance and use the rules to drive the story forward. My background in improvisation enables me to adapt seamlessly to unexpected choices while maintaining strong continuity in the game world. The tone of my campaigns is collaborative and shaped by the players. I enjoy crafting deep, meaningful narratives but embrace the unexpected humour and light-hearted moments that naturally arise. Every player is different, and I work to create an environment where all types of players—whether they love combat, roleplay, or just being part of the group—can feel comfortable and included. I also prioritise "failing forward," ensuring setbacks push the story in new directions rather than bringing it to a halt. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a fun and memorable experience tailored to your group. Whether you're new to tabletop RPGs or a seasoned player, I’m here to help bring your story to life.
