About me
With 40+ years of DM/GM experience across many genres, I know how to turn a game up to 11 (epic) and make sure we all have a blast. I have run both long (years) and short (1 session) games across a wide variety of systems and decades. My players still talk about in game events after decades have passed, and I strive to make your experience similar. And YES, I have indeed played every single one of the games listed in the "Games Systems" section, laugh all you want. Truth told, there are even a few not listed here on SPG... -I have designed a TTRPG translation to MOORPG (not MMORPG), created dozens of worlds and settings, set up new spins on existing genres, brought 1e/2e/5e together seamlessly in game, happily chosen iconic ambiance to countless games, and most importantly co-created some of the best memories and new friends! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of what RPGs are about, in my humble opinion!! -With the advent of this kind of space, I am embarking on sharing my skills with a much wider swath of great folks in the RPG community, and looking forward to all the great feedback which helps keep my existing skills sharp, and to learn new things too. Now open for Bookings online or live in the Central Texas area..!!

Creating your character
Session 0 to sort out PCs, any levels should be relatively close to rest of party, new and existing PCs are welcome. I have PDFs of the 2e Spelljammer books as references as needed.
The trackless depths of wildspace harbor many secrets, and the even unimaginably bigger phogiston conceals alien spheres few have even seen, and fewer still lived to tell such legendary tales! Pilot your ship to strange new worlds, meet unknown dangers, and plunder priceless treasures! Become powerful players in the cosmic game of empires wrought among the spheres, carve your name in the hallowed company of myths and legends...
