=== Games Run ===

* [[Star Trek (2020)]]

* [[Ryuutama_(2017)|''Sickness of Spirit'']], the party is tasked with traveling to a shrine in the mountains seeking a cure to a sickness plaguing the region.

* [[Planescape_(2015)|''Planescape Nights'']], a break from the more experimental and artsy campaigns to take a trip back to a simpler time when adventurers were adventurers and we all knew what alignment we were.

=== Trends and Styles ===

Recent trends:

* I'm reading up on Burning Wheel and a lot of the ideas in that system are looking interesting to me right now.

* I want to find ways to incorporate audio into the gaming experience to set the mood.

* Recently I've had a lot of exposure to European history, especially Rome, England, France, and the German speaking countries. This might weigh a lot on how I design cultures and political entities in my games right now.

* I've also been learning Old English and gotten interested in some bits of linguistics. I promise not to invent a language and make you learn it, I am no Tolkien.

~~GMing Style notes:~~

Much more into story, intrigue, and romance lately.

* I tend to improvise a lot more ~~than other GMs~~. ~~It seems to work well.~~

* Expect experimentation.

* Are you looking for that monster you just fought or the item it dropped in the books? Hah! Good luck!

=== House Rules ===

Line 30:

Line 24:

** Corollary to Rule Zero: "The Game Master can override any published rule at any time and for any reason."

* Players receive "main quest" experience, even if absent. Characters receive combat experience only if present.

* [[~~Benjamin~~'s Hackmaster House Rules]]

* [[Sage's Hackmaster House Rules]]

* [[~~Benjamin~~'s D&D 3.5 House Rules]]

* [[Sage's D&D 3.5 House Rules]]
