Interview with a GM - Richard

So to continue in the theme of interviewing each GM, we have up next Richard. When did you first start playing RPGs and what were they? Started with Live Role play when i was 14 i think and played for a few years, then attended a pen and paper game a couple of years later for one night.  Didn't really get back into it until i was 25 and have been playing ever since.  Larping was at Chislehurst Caves and woods in Sidcup.  First pen and paper would have been D&D but no idea on which version, from 25 it was a Star Wars game. What was the most memorable part of those sessions? There's been a few but one that sticks in mind the most was playing a character whos tongue had been removed.  This meant i had to act or draw out my plans when i was trying to communicate with the other party members. Why did you start GMing? I wanted to recreate some of the world from the Larp days so felt i would try and bring it to the table. How long have you been GMing? On and off for abo...

Interview with a GM - Freddie

Hi as one of the three GMs for the October Rotation in venue, I thought of a bit of a mini interview on you. When did you first start playing RPGs and what were they? About 4 or 5 years ago. I moved to a new area and did not know anyone. Looking on MeetUp, this looked quite interesting so I gave it a go…  I started playing in a Cthulhu game and then played some D&D 5e. I enjoyed the stories and interaction. What was the most memorable part of those sessions? I enjoyed the roleplaying aspects, playing different and wacky characters. I also enjoyed the stories and developing characters within the world. It is those interactions that were most memorable. If you have put time and effort into creating a character who has a nice backstory, acted consistently within the world and developed a personality, it’s tough to roll a D100 sanity and hope that this one roll does not mark the end. Why did you start GMing? Just wanted to give it a go to be honest. Seemed fun… How long have you be...

Interview with a GM - George

Hi as one of the four GMs for the October Rotation in venue, I thought of a bit of a mini interview on you. When did you first start playing RPGs and what were they? I started playing RPG's in school, GURPS and 3.5 DnD. We were young and it was a chaotic mess where we barely understood the rules... but it was the stepping stone to better games later. What was the most memorable part of those sessions? The most memorable part of those sessions, and any session in RPG games really, is the memorable story beats. Whether it's something the GM has been planning, a player throwing a curveball or a combat round creating a story: all exciting stuff Why did you start GMing? I started GMING recently, just last year. My resident 'forever DM' was getting burnout so I stepped in for some oneshots How long have you been GMing? Oops, I answered this in the last one. I started last year properly, there might have been a casual game I ran one session of much earlier... but since I can...

Proposed Game: Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus

System D&D 5e Game Master Freddie In Hall Looking to run from October with a party of 4 or so. It's a relatively long campaign but takes you into hell, so what's not to like! It starts in the city of Baldur's Gate "as it slowly succumbs to the sway of corrupt powers and evil gods".  The adventurers will go on a search for redemption as they descend into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, which is ruled by the Archdevil Zariel.  Players will also have the option of wading into the Blood War.
