GMs and NPCs

The GMs behind Origin Story. We're very up to discuss the game with you – whether you need help, a turnsheet extension, or want to discuss the direction your character is going!

If you wish to email a GM, please include “FAO: [GM name]” in the subject, to ensure we see it. You can also email NPCs – although, bear in mind that many NPCs will not be easy for random kids to get in touch with, and getting noticed may take more work than just sending an email!

If you wish to contact an NPC, put “FAO: [GM name]” in the subject, or “FAO: [NPC name]” if you don't know who plays them.

You can also email the whole team at gm@originstory.oxfordrpg.com
