About The Grognard
OG GM and player with a flair for detail and verisimiltude. Its all about the experience. A GM should be prepared and offer the players an experience worthy of their time. I expect players to be focused on the game, inject a little humor, and come prepared to tell a cooperative engaging story. I like to run games that are generally investigative, with 60% roleplay and 40% combat. Occasionally I like to run an old school module. I prefer to play AD&D, 5e or Traveller. I have been known to run some RuneQuest, Villains and Vigilantes or GURPS Autoduel. My preferred Game system in HarnMAster or any BRP (RuneQuest) variant such as Call of Cthulhu. I am not an adversarial DM, I like to challenge the players, and their characters, and resolve the logical results of their actions.

How The Grognard runs games
I lean towards a quick narrative based tactical style game. I balance all play styles. I play loose, but remain anchored by the ruleset. im not above tossing advantage and disadvantage for good narrative descriptions and using the environment. I allow lots of player agency to inject story elements. I also encourage players to interact with NPCs and develop in game relationships.
