About Richard
42, Scot, he/him. I began running and playing RPGs in 1997. I've run hundreds of games online, in person and at cons. I put in a lot of prep for games in Foundry: character art, music, maps, short films. If you've played Coriolis "Last Flight of the Ghazali" or Delta Green "Last Things Last" and "Night Floors", you may have seen my community maps in use.

How Richard runs games
I worked in the media for 20 years and take gaming seriously. That said, I enjoy having a chuckle with players, especially when games take a heavy turn. The most important thing is for players and the GM to have fun, and everyone will get the time to shine. I've a broad knowledge of sci-fi and horror, the history of the British Isles and Europe from the Dark Ages to modern day. Investigative games will be full of research, and horror games will build tension through dialogue and mood. Combat will always tend to be short, decisive and deadly. I like helping players to take control of the narrative.
