About me
Hello there! I'm Brian. I've been playing TTRPGs on and off for over 30 years. My first ever TTRPG experience was as a DM in a game that I wrote for my brother and cousin when I was 18. I've played and run many games in several systems since then, usually as the GM. I am the typical "Forever GM", and I love it! I enjoy story-focused games with lots of roleplay and combat. I do my best to make sure no one feels left out, giving everyone their time in the spotlight. Systems and titles I offer games in: Dungeons & Dragons 5e - Spelljammer - Planescape - Homebrew Marvel Multiverse RPG Lancer Savage Worlds I run an open and inclusive table; all are welcome. I am neuro-divergent friendly, LGBTQ+ friendly, and beginner friendly. I am physically disabled and neurodivergent, myself, and I know what it's like to deal with adversity; I can relate. I have a background in broadcasting and media production and like to incorporate what I've learned through my career in my games, including detailed maps, atmospheric music, voices, and focus on presentation and a good time for all involved. So come adventure with me! Bookings are open now.

Characters will be level one, and stats must be Standard Array or Point Buy. Advancement will be by milestone rather than XP. All players are assumed to have at least read the core rules, which are freely available online at D&DBeyond.

I keep an open door policy and players are encouraged to notify me at any time they feel uncomfortable with game content. I provide the VTT (Roll20), ambient sounds and music, custom maps and tokens, and D&DBeyond content. I am not a Rule of Cool DM and try to stick to Rules As Written as much as possible. I ATTEMPT to do voices and accents. Feel free to point and laugh at me.
