About me

Rules-lite RPGs are my passion. Collaborating with players to create background and backstory is what I enjoy most. Creating a great character-driven narrative that we will tell for years is my goal. My preference is for RPG systems that support the story and also allow for players to have the option to succeed at a cost, driving the story to a climactic finish where all those checks must be paid. RPGs work best when it's like a jazz ensemble, where the whole group plays together most of the time but everyone gets a chance to step forward for their solo from time to time. I've been running a lot of "legacy campaigns" lately, where the characters can have a profound impact on the game world in a short campaign. Then start a new campaign set a few years or decades in the future in that changed world, with some of the players coming back, while some new players may also join, with characters that may or may not be related to the previous campaign.

GM Style

Role playing is the heart of a role-playing game. Each major NPC ideally gets a distinct voice, as do the more colorful minor NPCs. Combat is more about the narrative, but whatever crunch is available in the rule-lite systems I use will be made available to the players per their desire. My style is tweaked based on the style and setting of the game but also the players at my table.
