An Interview with a GM - Richard T

When did you first start playing RPGs and what were they?

Probably when i was around 10 with a friend whose father had the old Traveller little black books and Warhammer fantasy roleplay. Also a bit of D&D 4E at university.

What was the most memorable part of those sessions?

It’s a long time ago now but i think it was a combination of it just being the two of us and the extreme lethality of Warhammer!

Why did you start GMing?

Lots of reasons! I wanted to play some of the 2D6 games that others weren’t GMing, I love the rules for building sectors and worlds in Traveller (especially combined with some of the Stars Without Number ideas), and because i’ve been at the club for a couple of years now so it felt like it was time to give it a go!

How long have you been GMing?

This will be my first time other than running a small D&D one shot for a couple of friends.

What systems have you GMed?

Only D&D 5e before, but i’m looking forward to running some 2D6 systems.

What are the pleasures and pitfalls of GMing?

Ask again in April!

What was the most memorable part of the sessions you GMed?

In the one-shot i ran, the adventure planned for the players to find and kill a waterdrake. However, when they met it and i took another look at the stats i realised the waterdrake was intelligent enough to speak and one of the players spoke Draconic. What was going to be a quick fight quickly swung into a rescue operation to repatriate the waterdrake to its home in a distant swamp!

What is your current game about?

I don’t want to give too much away but i can say that it will see the players starting in ancient Rhodes in mythological Greece before starting on a series of adventures.
It’s using the Sword of Cepheus system which uses a minigame for character creation where you roll up their lives up to the start of the game. We then work together to integrate these backstories. It’s a really exciting way to organically develop characters and backstories that work together.

What do you get out of GMing?

Ask again in April!

How to find a RPG / D&D group near you

By
Looking for online RPG groups for beginners? Or perhaps you are a veteran player in need of another in-person campaign? Finding a tabletop RPG group near you can be a challenge, but fear not this little ditty should help you find the right RPG group for you. Time and location are the two biggest problems for RPG players looking for a RPG group. How to Find a RPG Group Offline There’s no experience quite like playing RPG in the physical presence of your fellow players. Most beginner and experienced RPG players alike prefer to play offline RPG. It is not as easy to find a group, but it is 100% possible. The Starter’s Set The official D&D Starter Set might be the best way to play D&D for the first time. It includes a set of dice, premade characters, a basic rulebook, and a game that takes players from Level 1 to Level 5. Other RPGs have similar starting rule sets that are great for diving into a RPG. If you have (or can find) a group of friends who would also like to form a beginn...
