Not Your Average Monday
An enormous EMP has gone off over the Southeastern US. We have made it to the survivalist stockpile. Will you find out the truth? What is happening?
About the adventure
The power has gone out. Phones are not working. Your car is dead on the roadside. What happened? Possibly an EMP over the local area+? It has been about 12 hours since the event happened. We are hiking out of the Ocoee River as we speak, with several friends and a small party of random but cool-seeming travelers. The beginning of the end is here. What will happen when electronics and infrastructure collapse in the USA during contemporary times? Scary thought... come and experience how swiftly society can degrade and see how your characters interact and uphold in that world. This is just the beginning. There are more layers of excitement and adventure coming. Quickly. Think of all the opportunities! Governments, corporations both domestic and foreign. Genetic mutations both in plants and animals? Disease, pollution, changing environments, forgotten knowledge, aliens(?)...? the possibilities are endless. What will be next? Who is responsible for this catastrophe?

About me
Hello and welcome! I am Craig and I am generally a laughing, friendly, well-mannered kind of guy. Ofc some days are better than others for all of us... This is all here to help you narrow down whether we might be a good fit to play in some great stories together. River guiding (pictured on Ocoee Oct '23) is just one of many things I've done to live, work and play on the fringes of society in a variety of gorgeous, preferably natural spots across America. I gained and sacrificed much for that lifestyle. I've been playing and running a decent variety of TTRPGs since I was knee high to a grasshopper, with too long a hiatus through many of the past few years. Been back plenty long enough to figure out Roll20 and Discord as well as a few updated games systems but that is not where my enjoyment lies. That is with the people, stories and gameplay! I run inclusive games where everyone is welcome and safe. I'm newcomer friendly and am more than happy and ready to teach a game to somebody who has never played before. Safety tools are important to me as is respect for all. I want everybody to have a good time and a comfortable place to play. My goal is to deliver an experience you're happy to be a part of, please let me know how we can make that happen. I am neurodivergent with ADHD and undiagnosed on the Autistic Spectrum (these have many "symptoms" in common). Fortunately for us, I tend to hyper fixate on these games... I also believe that the word "disorder" for either of these is a misnomer for simply different ways of thinking, feeling, learning and expressing... I look forward to meeting you to build some collaborative, epic tales!

If you're looking for a laid-back, engaging, and unforgettable tabletop experience, look no further than Craig. As our Werewolf: The Apocalypse GM, he mixes storytelling with a relaxed vibe. His approach to the game allows us to immerse ourselves in the rich lore of WtA. He utilizes his knowledge of nature and society to make the situations you encounter very realistic and mindful. I have a great time playing with Craig! Feel free to say hi if you see me around!

Craig is a GM who is very good at incorporating all of his PC's strengths and ensuring they all have time to shine. He does good characters and pulls from alot of different content including premades, remixing them and his own original content. He can make mistakes (who doesnt) but is always good at correcting them or growing from them (im looking at you cybernetic killer bunnies that gave me ptsd). I have had a lot of fun in his campaign and will absolutely look for his games again in the future!

I have been playing with Craig for about a year now and he has been one of the best teachers and game masters I have had the privilege to play with over the 15 years of TTRPG experience I have had. His storytelling and player agency is always top notch and he is constantly coming up with brilliant ways to incorporate everyone into his story telling and world. I don't think anybody could walk away from his table without feeling like they've accomplished something or learned something and I couldn't recommend him enough for new players and veterans alike!

He is enthusiastic about TTRPGs and Cyberpunk. He genuinely wants people to have a good time. He does a thorough job in his session 0's to flesh out your character fully and loves the role-playing aspect of the game. He also provides a warm and inviting atmosphere to play in.

Craig's a great, knowledgeable GM and player in Cyberpunk RED. Can't speak for any other games, but I've had a lot of fun with him!
