About Andrew

Hey, howdy, hey, I'm Andrew! I've been playing TTRPGs for more than 10 years now, and I have experience playing and GMing a wide variety of games, settings and tones. I love teaching people about new games, and I look forward to seeing you at the table! If you want to see a bit more of my stuff, I do run a YouTube channel called ThatGamerAjax that has a few actual play one shots as well.

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I had a lot of stories and ideas I wanted to play, and I wanted to be able to explore those with awesome folks. Once I started in the seat, I couldn't get enough of it, so here I am!

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Veil of the Void, Fantasy Age, and Monster of the Week.

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

Reading a good book, writing a short story, playing some video games, or prepping for my next home game.

How Andrew runs games

I love facilitating great roleplay moments, and while my character voices aren't the best I do try to make characters unique from one another. Depending on the game, I try to do a blend of roleplay, exploration and combat per session. When the combat breaks out, my goal is to make players feel as awesome as possible with enough challenge to keep it interesting. Above all, I want to create a fun and interesting world with the input of my players, and craft the story around their actions.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Largely heroic adventures, going from no-names to recognized heroes sent after for help to handle anything.

When it comes to voices

I do the best I can...but let's be honest, they could be better.

Andrew's ideal table

Players that are eager to embrace their character and explore the worlds we craft together are more than welcome at the table. As long as you are respectful and keep an open mind to a variety of systems, I have a seat for you.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Embraces their character, engages with the table, and adds to the world we're playing in.

I think min/maxing...

Is honestly fine, as it can be a lot of fun to optimize your character and I want to reward that. Just don't have it ruin the experience for others.

My table is not the place for...

Hateful thinking or bigotry.
