About me
Hello! I have been running Tabletop RPGs since 1990. I enjoy and run Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and other genres. I am currently running Pathfinder 1e and MechWarrior 2nd edition games and looking to add more. I have a small collection of RPGs that I have collected over the years. These range from perineal favorites like Pathfinder and Shadowrun, to less common titles such as Cyberpunk 2020 and Twilight 2000, to fairly rare titles such as Gatewar and Living Steel. Most I have run repeatedly in the past, some only a few times.

I will try and touch on all the main points of being a GM, from my POV. I have been playing weekly with David for over 3 years David is a hard-working, dedicated GM who goes the extra mile to create a good atmosphere. You see it in all the small/big things like the Foundry server, use of music/mood, etc. He knows the rules deeply but doesn't bring his ego into it and when he makes a mistake is candid and frank. While not a trained voice actor, he does a nice job of bringing life to the NPCs and giving them personality. He does not hold that party's hand. He gives the players complete agency. If you succeeded on a knowledge check and found that the critter is immune to fire and two rounds later the wizard wants to cast a fireball, David happily accommodates them. In summation, David is easy going yet earnest and dedicated and creates a great gaming experience.
