About VVulfmann
Hello! I'm VVulfmann, your friendly neighborhood were-creature with over five years of experience running tabletop campaigns, one-shots, and everything in between. My passion lies in crafting rich, fleshed-out, believable worlds where your character's choices truly matter. Here’s what you can expect at my table: 🎙️ Immersive Roleplay: My games lean into roleplay. Expect to feel like you’re talking to real individuals with motives, desires, and goals when interacting with in-game NPCs. For beginners, my games are a safe space to learn to roleplay with NPCs… and even other party members. 🧠 Player Agency: Your choices drive the narrative, whether they are expected… or not. Make bold decisions as an individual and as an adventuring party… and live with the consequences. ⚔️ Crunchy Combat: Expect tactical, crunchy, challenging combat on detailed battle maps that rewards smart gameplay and leans into the drama created by the dice. The game system itself is the best tool to create unexpected, dramatic situations organically. 🌍 Exploration: Of all the pillars of role playing games, exploration may be my favorite. Whether you are exploring an ancient crypt, the wilds outside of town, or the backrooms of the local thieves’ guild, expect the unexpected! Some of the most memorable in-game moments result from curiosity, keen observation, and foolhardy risk-taking! 🤝 Inclusivity: I use safety tools (like the X-Card) to ensure all players feel respected and comfortable. My table is welcoming to players of all backgrounds and experience levels. For beginners, I will take the time to teach you the mechanics of the game as we play.

I became a GM because
there's nothing more fun to me than reacting to my players unpredictable choices that ultimately lead to memorable, dramatic moments that I could not have planned in a million years!
My favorite shows/movies are
the Alien movies, Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things, and basically anything that qualifies as mystery, fantasy, or scifi!
When I'm not running games I'm...
riding my mountain bike, playing Nintendo with my kids, going to the movies, playing my PS5, or hiking in the woods.
How VVulfmann runs games
To me, a successful adventure is one where the players and the GM have a great time telling a memorable story together. I love roleplaying dramatic choices, dire situations, and moments of reflection - all of these elements together generate stories that remain memorable for years to come. My goal is for players to step into the game world and forget about their real lives for a little while. For a few hours, they can become someone else living a completely different story. My games include heavy roleplay, exciting exploration, and crunchy tactical combat, all of which can be used to make the collaborative story that we are telling together even more interesting.

I once ran a session...
where the party's pet penguin was promoted to archwizard of an ancient flying city!
Rules are...
the anvil upon which dramatic moments are forged! A great ruleset that leverages robust dice mechanics adds wonderful, organic moments of drama to any good table.
When it comes to voices
I do my best, but I'm no Matthew Mercer or Brennan Lee Mulligan. ;)
VVulfmann's ideal table
My ideal table is filled with players who want to tell a collaborative story together, and are more concerned with telling an interesting story as a group than they are with "winning" the game. Everyone wants their characters to be successful in their efforts, but in my experience, even a failed dice roll at a dramatic moment provides a wonderful bit of storytelling that leaves all the players with memories that they are still talking about weeks later.
