Describe yourself and your play style:
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. Pete promotes tabletop RPGs at a variety of conventions throughout the country and leads an Indie Games on Demand movement in his local area. He is the former IGDN Convention Coordinator, and Host of the Indie Groundbreaker Awards.
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.
