I became a GM because

I have ADHD, and I find it easier to spin a ton of plates than focus on one. I also love crafting characters, so making custom NPCs for each Player's Character is a blast.

How Zakk runs games

I am a Character Drama GM. As a huge fan of the Player Characters I do my best to customize the game to craft situations/items that shocase the cool things the characters can do, and choices that reveal who those characters truly are. I primarily GM in theatre of the mind so I love roleplay and epic narrative fights.

I deal with rules issues by...

speaking with the player(s) outside of the game. I may make a call during the game if taking a break is not an option, but then I will discuss with the player(s) between games so we can compare your reading of the rule with my understanding of it and then come up with a solution together.

Rules are...

the way we understand how a game wants to be played. It is essential to understand why a rule exists before it is bent or broken. It will always be way more fun to find a way to do what you want without breaking the game rules than it will be to do away with them at the first inconvenience.

When it comes to voices

I love them, I try my best, but I am no trained actor.

Zakk's ideal table

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

safe and comfortable. One where we can switch back and forth between jokes and high drama. I also want you to feel safe to try new things with your characters.

I love it when a player

Is as excited about the other players' characters as they are about their own.
