Larry Cummings

Game Master
5.0

I love board games and RPGs of all kinds. As a GM I lean theater-of-the-mind storytelling over endless maps and minis, though I’ll bring out maps and minis for big combat moments. I’m drawn to puzzles and narrative arcs that aren’t just about fighting.

I’m always picking up new RPG rules and settings, which makes it easy for our group to adapt the game for maximum fun. I’ve been playing since the 1980s, so I’ve learned how to shape my GM style to fit each session. Sometimes my more experienced players enjoy how I compress and expand rules on the fly to serve the story, the characters, and the contests. I like to pack a rich story arc into a single session. I indulge the rule of cool, but I’m not a fan of min-maxing at the table, and I love corruption rules because they steer “murder hobo” energy into a darker, more creative space than alignment ever could.

People tell me I run a fun table. I’m told I’m a “gamer’s” GM. The best compliment is when beginners and experts both enjoy playing with me at the same table. I always feel like I’m learning the real game every time I play. Experienced players appreciate the humor and depth I bring to the story, while beginners appreciate how I lay out the session—how the setup works, how it’s progressing, and how the campaign’s climax objectives unfold.

We use X cards and Shadows and Veils to keep it classy.

I improvise, I’m practiced, and I’m a little unpredictable about stepping away from my own plan to improve the session for everyone. Side quests can be very helpful, though they can also serve as a bit of retconting to fix something that bugs a player, with everyone on board.

I’m all about collaborative, improvisational storytelling. Combat can be a great storytelling context too—there are often combat checks, and it doesn’t have to mean constant fighting. When things get grim, my job is to keep the fights spectacular, aiming for moments that are entertaining and memorable.

Larry is fantastic!

Larry is a great GM! First off, his knowledge of the rules are expansive, and will patiently teach new players in a clear and concise way. Secondly, he works on immersing you/your character into the game. Your choices have actual consequences, which will sometimes be revealed much later on. And thirdly, he knows how to have fun. This seems like a given, but I’ve played with a lot of people, and sometimes they just aren’t interesting. Larry has fun with you, and is just as invested in your character as you are. I highly recommend him to new players and experienced DMs alike!

Larry has run a few campaigns for my friends and I. I really appreciate his attention to detail and ability to shift his style to suite the players at the table, In some campaigns players wanted to focus on role play he shifted his approach seamlessly on the fly. I look forward to our next campaign together.

Larry is always a blast to play with. I am so thankful for his enthusiasm in any game we get to play together. He has an easy going and thematic attitude that I really latch onto when he leads a game. Larry’s creativity in scenarios always allows for more than interesting storytelling and really makes sessions unique and most of all…FUN!
