GM Style
- I'll explain the rules as we go, but rules are tools for shared fair play, not inflexible shackles.
- I run games of heroic fantasy, not power fantasy. PC death is possible but not inevitable.
- I like collaborative storytelling. I'll happily incorporate player ideas, and I might ask you to make something up on the spot!
- If you are feeling triggered by something, raise your hand. We can retcon the story if necessary.
