About Ginger GM
I have been a GM for almost 15+ years now and am beginning my professional GM journey. I run inclusive games for all types with a focus on fun. I mainly run Lancer modules, though in my spare time I play a lot of Blades in the Dark.

How Ginger GM runs games
I am an improve GM at heart who focuses more on story then mechanics... though that may be hard to see as I mostly run Lancer modules which downplays both of those aspects. But for that tradeoff I get awesome giant robots blowing each other up! So, its a sacrifice I am willing to make. + My NPCs have been described as quirky and fun to interact with and I have told that often can be a highlight to the games I run. My NPCs can be pretty eccentric and comedic, but I can also do serious and dark when needed. + I have also been told I can develop some pretty brutal and challenging (but fair) combat scenarios. My motto is that if you are not able to lose a combat, then why is the combat even there? I'm not a killer GM, but combats exist to be obstacles and not just rooms of punching bags.

My games focus on...
Zany characters and puzzle-y combat.
Rules are...
made to be broken.
Ginger GM's ideal table
My table is pretty laid back. Most of my groups likes to talk about their week or something cool they saw within the first part of any session before we dive in. Jokes and laughter are commonplace and while the table can grow quiet as the narrative tension builds, eventually someone will crack a joke to release it.

I think it's a red flag when players...
Have a character who is part scion, part alien, part devil, and part cat. Less is more!
I think min/maxing...
Removes a lot of the fun of story telling. But in combat heavy games like Lancer I think min/maxing is half the fun!
