About Michael R

I'm an award winning game designer and writer (Evil Dead 2™: Dead by Dawn), theatrical actor/director, and martial artist who loves White Russians, romantic candle lit rituals, and long sword fights on the beach. Come tell harrowing tales of struggle, transformation, intrigue, and adventure in my character driven, role-play heavy, worlds! You'll love my games if you like: Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, The Chronicles of Amber, Dragon Age, and/or Game of Thrones. My games are Trans and Queer spaces.

How Michael R runs games

Roleplay > Rules Story > Rules Player Agency > Railroad If there is magic, it is dangerous. If there is combat, it is costly. Stories are interesting when actions and choices have consequences. I lean heavily into the idea of collaborative storytelling, drawing from my directorial experience to facilitate players exploring their characters motivations and beliefs, and rely on my experience in acting and competitive improv to bring the world around them to life.
