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
Encourage players to bring their favorite PCs not currently involved in other games, or try out new concepts in Session 0 review/setup. Levels are agreed upon for maximum enjoyment, with an eye towards Planescape style/compatible beings.
One of the great mysteries of the Lower Planes, is the identity of the "General of Gehenna". What is the connection with the Dark Moot, and why are the armies of Yugoloths fighting on both sides of the Blood War? Answers to these mysteries could shift the Balance in several ways, can you find the right balance for the future of the multiverse? Or will your soul be lost like countless others in the darkness of the planes of Evil..?
