About Zachary

My name is Zachary Russell, and I've been a Game Master for nearly a decade. I bring a high level of production value and immersive atmosphere to every game I run. As a GM, I prioritize crafting personal, character-driven stories with my players and fully immersing them in the worlds they explore. I pride myself on being system agnostic regardless of the setting or mechanics, I can make almost any game shine. As an actor, I've trained in a variety of character-building exercises that help bring characters to life, even when starting with very little. I combine that training with my improvisational experience to guide new players through character creation, helping them build characters they'll remember for years to come. *What I Bring to the Table:* * Experience running every published D&D 5e module. * Strong improvisation skills and the ability to homebrew on the fly. * Extensive experience with Foundry VTT, including curated macros, automation, and visual enhancements. * A welcoming, easygoing approach that makes it simple and fun for new players to learn the game. * I will 100% make a Spotify playlist for your character. I look forward to crafting a world we can lose ourselves in together.

My favorite system of all Time is

Hunter the Reckoning

How Zachary runs games

I opt for a more sandbox-oriented approach to GMing, crafting a large but concise world to play within. I compare my sandbox to the map from Clue: each location reveals new tools, places, and characters that connect to the overarching narrative. This is especially true in my Hunter: The Reckoning games, though elements of this can be found in every system I run.
