Worldbuilding Mythology Gamemastering Tips Adventures Settings Monsters Villains

Of Gods and Gamemasters is firmly committed to providing high quality tabletop and live action role playing game content and services to both players and gamemasters. 42 years of experience as a gamemaster and roleplayer combine with a broad knowledge base, especially in the fields of mythology, history, and worldbuilding, to facilitate the creation and running of rich, evocative settings and games. All editions of DnD (including Dnd5e), Pathfinder 1e, GURPS, Mutants and Masterminds, and New World of Darkness (also called Chronicles of Darkness) are particular specialties.

Of Gods and Gamemasters will never knowingly use or promote any product or art made using generative AI.

I write a weekly TTRPG blog, with articles, vignettes and more. Check out my services page for what I’ll provide on commission, and the specific subcategory pages (like DnD5e) for free content for those systems. My specific setting pages; Loria : the Spoken World, Nhaliga : the Weeping Earth, and the Successor States of Rega, hold examples and teasers for my Worldbuilding work. The Gamemaster’s Hoard is where you can buy my published supplements. If you want to support the site, head to Tips and Support or become a Patron.

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― Ursula K. LeGuin, paraphrasing J.R.R. Tolkien

Of Gods and Gamemasters is here to aid in your escape, and that of your players or readers.
