I've got a lovely opportunity coming up. Some old friends are interested in trying out a roleplaying game and I'm delighted to be their GM. I love GMing. I like playing RPGs, but GMing is where my heart is. I like telling stories and working with the players to really create something special.

It started off well for the group, with their missing member being unceremoniously dumped outside their offices, having been abducted by a local drug gang as a warning. The group then held a… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 4

The group is made up of two Pure Mortals… Continue reading The Dresden Files RPG: Session 1
