How Wandering runs games

🎲 My DM Style: Immersive and Player-Focused 🎲 As a DM, I focus on diving deep into role-playing and crafting stories that pull players in. I prioritize fun and creativity, making sure everyone feels connected to the world and their characters. While my sessions are packed with engaging role-play, I’m not afraid to dial up the grit when the stakes need to rise, keeping everyone on their toes. I like to keep combat quick and impactful so the story stays at the forefront. Mysteries and intrigue are a big part of my campaigns, encouraging players to think critically and explore the world around them. My games are all about collaboration, where players drive the story, and everyone gets their chance to shine. Together, we create memorable, exciting adventures. 🌟🕵️‍♂️⚔️

My games focus on...

Stories. I like to develop good stories. I will work with you to develop your backstory and character arc. I hope you will work with my to build the world we are playing in.

Rules are...

Designed to make the game fair. The rule of cool is fine but not if one character takes advantage of it to game the system. Obviously not all rules are created equal (looking at you, DnD 5e saying mules cannot be ridden by humans because they are only medium-sized)

When it comes to voices

I do my best to make my characters sound different but I would be the first person to admit that I am not a professional voice actor. I am a writer though, so I bring different skills to the table.
