Describe yourself and your play style. I'm Neev, and I'm all about growth and expansion through Role Playing Games! I am trained and certified as a space-holder and Authentic Relating facilitator. Is there space for authenticity in RPGs? I think so! I would argue that we can be VERY authentic while playing a different characters, because we get to touch less explored parts of us. Parts that are just itching to be expressed! If you are looking for a fun experience that is also full of person growth, emotion and deep connection with others, I'm the GM for you! Here is some of what people have said about my facilitation: https://testimonial.to/yaniv-rose/all Looking forward to playing together, Love, Neev 💗

Describe yourself and your play style. “I am a game designer, professional DM, and long-time forever DM. I run a professional gaming company, with 7 other DMs who work for me, running paid games. We've got a few DM's Guild materials out there, but this RPG is our first foray into seriously publishing a full, independent RPG. As a DM, I lean toward cinematic, story-focused games. I don't particularly fancy dungeon crawls or pointless combats. I like it when the conflict serves the story, rather than the other way around. I don't like encounters for their own sake; I want every scene to move the story forward. I love finding the story in a game as it emerges, leaning into the dramatic plot twists and the climactic final confrontations. I love getting into the character's heads, both the PCs and NPCs, discovering what makes them tick, and revealing the incredible story that can emerge through play.”

Tell us about your favorite NPC to have run. “Not sure this is my favorite ever, but at the top of my head right now. About two hours ago (as of writing this) I was running a very cool NPC in one of my professional games: a spirit called the Watcher, who lives deep in the Black Woods. It takes the form of a larger-than-life bear with the head of an owl and the antlers of a stag. It has three eyes, but each eye looks like a clock face, with the third, central eye, dominating all of them. They wanted to ask it questions, and it demanded a price. When it spoke, the world seemed to shrink and shiver, and the players just about peed themselves when they realized that they needed to come up with a gift not just to get what they wanted, but even just to leave alive. They paid a king's ransom: one player gave up his treasured magical weapons, twin shadow blades that can turn anyone they kill into a shadow which obeys the wielder. And they got the answers they sought. At the critical moment of its speech, its voice grew louder and deeper, and the rest of the world seemed to fade away, and a bell seemed to toll with each word it emphasized, and then they lost track of some time and came to outside of the forest. The players were raving about how awesome that guy was, so yeah, it was a memorable moment :)”

Is there anything else you'd like to tell potential players to help them get to know you? “Like I said, I run a very story-focused, roleplay-heavy game. Come ready to dive into the inner psychology of your character! The more you bring, the more I can give you back.”

Describe yourself and your play style. “I've been involved with ttrpgs for ~4 years now although I'm pretty new to GM-ing. I love to play games with interesting mechanics or world-building. In my free time you can find me digging around the depths of itch.io trying to find the weirdest and most unique tabletop games.”

Is there anything else you'd like to tell potential players to help them get to know you? “I really try to have a high degree of collaboration in my games. I like to ask for player input in world-building and storytelling. My games tend not to be too serious. Also, I'm very much a fan of the "rule of cool." :)”

Describe yourself and your play style. "“I'm an experienced "Forever" DM/GM and I love the role. I tend toward high fantasy games though I am dabbling in gritty/grim dark in the near future. I prefer homebrew games over modules due to the freedom it gives both the players and myself. I work very hard on creating a fair game using the rules as guidelines and giving a lot of freedom for my players to come up with any crazy idea and try to make it work. I love teaching new players and pushing the limits of veterans. D&D is my comfort zone however I have played other systems such as Shadowrun, Vampire the Masquerade, DCC, and Honey Heist.

Tell us about your favorite NPC to have run. “My favorite NPC is Meepo from the D&D Sunless Citadel module. I like to run that module for new players and every single group I have had has fallen in love with this NPC. I play this sheepish and meek kobold who is so distraught over losing his pet. Creating an endearing NPC for the players to connect with and make them feel like they're part of the story makes this NPC so much fun to run.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell potential players to help them get to know you? “I am firm in my decisions but I am also very willing to hear a player's side first. Feel free to communicate with me whether you're confused, pleased, or disagree with something. I may be the GM, but I'm just as much a player at the table as you and, I'm human, I'll make mistakes.”

Describe yourself and your play style. “I'm fairly new to the gaming world, only been involved for 1 1/2 years now. I absolutely love TTRPGs, and am so excited to introduce our new system, Rupture, to everyone. My gaming style is lots of role-play, little bit of combat, puzzles to figure out, and I keep it light-hearted, full of laughs, and there'll probably a bad pun here or there! I love the players, and it's really their story; I'm just the narrator here to bring it all together.”

Tell us about your favorite NPC to have run. “My favorite NPC is a little old witchy type, Wilda, who lives inside of a large tree within the Enchanted Woods, and is a little bit mana-torn (a little loopy, lol). She's high energy, and mysterious, and can be super helpful, IF you are on her side, but then can change her demeanor in a instant if someone opposes her.”

I'm an avid gamer, artist, and all around big brother to my friends and family. Currently I am going to college learning the craft of Digital Design and I am a part of Rupture RPG, as a developer/game designer.

Describe yourself and your play style.: “I am a person who loves to tell stories and build worlds for others to explore. I have refined my style so that I maintain a living world. The actions of the players have ripples that will carry throughout the world they play in, and just because a character is not "on screen" does not mean they are just sitting idle waiting for the players to return. I like to maintain a fun and lighthearted environment both in the game and out. One shots are the perfect chance to play with more ridiculous and fun types of adventures. I have spent 6 years jumping between player and game runner, and I am now the Lead Designer of the Rupture System working with the creator of the system to build an amazing world and system for people to enjoy.”

Tell us about your favorite NPC to have run.: “My favorite NPC would be Kazi, an elven "teenager" prodigy of magic and alchemy. She had the personality of a humming bird and would jump though to thought and project to project in the blink of an eye. She was more interested in the results of an experiment rather than the ramifications. She was fun to play as I had to speak fast and spout out magic-techno-babble.”

Formal: A tabletop role-playing game enthusiast and lover of all things pretend. Pete Petrusha is an indie game designer, tabletop RPG promoter, and the Creative Director at Imagining Games. He is the designer, author, and award nominated art director behind the empowering story building game, Dreamchaser: A Game of Destiny and the ridiculous roommate roleplaying game Rest in Pieces.

Casual: I love empowering players to be creative and descriptive. I share spotlight and like players to get invested in their characters. I want each game to give each player a chance to shine. I do often let players take the game in the direction that they're interested in vs. anything I may have prepared. I ask a lot of questions and try to give players a safe space to let their imagination run.

Tell us about your favorite NPC to have run: I do love a good instigator! So, I just ran a game where a character's mom became a reoccurring nuisance of an NPC that was really fun. Two of the PCs kept calling her up, so she kept calling them in return. In the end it opened the door for a really funny conspiracy twist.
