I have been a gamer since 92 and a GM for about 30 years give or take.
my play style is character and story based i don't play to the rules to power my self i play to advance story and enjoy my character. and i typically play a magic user of some kind but good with anything that may be needed.
My gm style is vary adaptive i do not believe in ridged story lines. i will have a story but i am always prepared for the lets go around the pyramid gamer.
