Gaming Philosophy: Like to plan sessions ahead of time with commitments from players, read rules, design player aids, etc. if possible, and prepare just enough to get into the design. Often run games, or support others being Game Master have a smooth and enjoyable experience without hassle. Often win minor awards; usually of the "most helpful to GM" variety. Its about the theatre and spectacle of the experience as well as playing well. |
