What I provide

My games are cinematic, immersive, and emotionally driven. I offer a fully supported VTT experience with custom maps, tokens, mood art, and full access to Roll20’s book library. Ambient music and visual transitions help pull players into the world from the very first scene. Every session balances meaningful roleplay and technically satisfying combat. Whether you’re confronting ancestral spirits or ambushing an enemy warband, the stakes are high and the moments are impactful. I don’t do character voices, but I do focus heavily on pacing, clarity, and player agency. My prep is foundational to my GM style—I build the world, the factions, and the pressure points, but how the players engage is entirely up to them. I run Rules as Written as the default, but there’s always room for the Rule of Cool when it enhances the moment. Players can expect a high-trust table, deep worldbuilding, and a space where their characters' legacies matter. You won’t just explore Karagtan—you’ll shape it.

Gameplay details

I run a welcoming table where player comfort and safety are a core part of the experience. I use tools like aftercare check-ins, scheduled breaks, and end-of-session debriefings to make space for processing intense moments and sharing feedback. My table operates under a clear Open Door policy. Players are always free to step away or message me privately at any time, no explanation needed. I strive to build a space where players feel respected, supported, and empowered. So we can explore rich stories with full trust in one another.
