Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I enjoy writing stories. I have always enjoyed a good story, and becoming a GM was the best way I could think of to share these stories with people.

I got started GMing...

When a bunch of my friends said they wanted to try the game and said that since I already wrote stories they want me to tell the story

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

Playing Magic The Gathering, playing board games, or just hanging out with my friends.

How Erich runs games

I am a very open GM. I do enjoy role playing and if the table really does enjoy it I lean into a more role-playing and story telling with a balance of combat. If the table wants a more combat heavy campaign with less role playing then I lean more into that where the players can learn the story through smaller role play events. Or if all they want is combat I do have a one shot for that. I also really enjoy having new players sitting at my table. The goal of any TTRPG is to have fun.

I prep by

Figuring out what I need for the session and what part we are playing. I keep notebooks with each party so I tend to read over what happened. Oh and my water bottle.

My games focus on...

Fun first and foremost, followed by story. Not every game is about combat.

Rules are...

Important. However there is the rule of cool.

Erich's ideal table

My table generally is pretty relaxed, it's normally a balance of role play and combat. My table is also very new player friendly and mostly a relaxed table that believes in fun.

IRL drama. Leave that stuff at the door. We are here to have fun.
