About me

Good Mornin'! I'm the Baron, short for the Baron of Books on Games, a Games Master with 20+ years experience of horror, fantasy, comedy and sci-fi TTRPG's ranging from Chaosium's Runequest series, Dungeons and Dragons, 2nd and 4th edition World of Darkness settings, SLA Industries, Continuum and many more. If you want to hear more come check out my TikTok to get an idea for who I am https://www.tiktok.com/@thebaronbooks With 20+ years of gaming experience primarilly as a Games Master/Storyteller I have written dozens of homebrew stories for long form, one shot and short term (6-12 sessions) I can balance humour and tension at the table while giving everyone time to shine. If you like combat you're in luck, I run smart enemies that are actually trying to win. If you like social and roleplaying I run NPC's that have their own objectives and prejudices while also running intrigue and investigations. I have run games for Comicon, MCM, Anime League, multiple charity events including children's literacy, The NHS and Alzheimer's and even run games of DnD In a Castle. I have also appeared on podcasts across a range of DnD, TTRPG and other Nerdy content as a keynote guest as well as alongside guests like Critical Role's Matt Mercer and Ginny Di (Sadly as a side guest not a keynote guest because that would have been awesome!). If all of this sounds like something you could enjoy please join one of my games, I run a game every other Wednesday running GMT 1900-2300 with a 30 min break in the middle. If things go well I will extend my gaming days to include alternating Fridays or Thursdays whichever works best with players and schedule.

GM Style

I run player incentive driven campaigns that can unfold hundreds of different ways based on what the players do, don't do, who they interact with and so much more. There is a strong emphasis on character, bring a well written backstory or a willingness to engage with the plot and you will get a lot out of my stories. Combat will always be engaging and tactical, even bandits are actually trying to kill you and enemies are not above running away to come fight you again later. Roleplay will be engaging and I do have a very wide range of male, female and non-binary voices and characters I can pull on to give a world that feels full and diverse. Puzzles will be fun and will not grind pacing to a fault. Teamwork is key, if you don't think you can work or play well with other this probably isn't the table for you.
