About me
Howdy, I'm Alan and I tend to allow shenanigans at my table! The first time I ever played a role-playing game, we used the manual for Icewind Dale 2, since actual rulebooks were not available in our quaint Polish town. Things have changed since then. I have a beard now! And actual rulebooks. My actual play inspirations are Dimension 20 and NADDPOD. I enjoy crafting stories with my players, designing surprising encounters, and doing silly voices. I strive to mix old-school charm with modern-day sensibilities.

How Alan creates a safe table
I make use of lines and veils and work to help my players feel safe and comfortable during play. Everything will be discussed during session 0. My games are neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly, as I myself am both.
