What Andy brings to the table

As a Game Master with over 10 years of experience, I strive to create an immersive and exciting experience for my players. I make full use of Foundry VTT and premium modules, including animated maps, to bring the world to life visually. I enhance sessions with character voices and carefully selected ambient music to set the mood. I embrace the Rule of Cool, always encouraging creative and fun solutions over strict adherence to rules. My main focus is on player autonomy and maximizing fun, ensuring everyone has the freedom to shape the story and enjoy the game to its fullest. I’m also very familiar with Pathfinder and Starfinder game systems, which helps me run smooth and engaging campaigns.

How Andy creates a safe table

At my table, I want everyone to feel included, valued, and respected regardless of age, disability, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or background. This game is a shared experience, and every player’s voice matters. We’re here to tell a story together, and that only works when everyone feels safe and welcome. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind is not tolerated. I aim to build a space where everyone can enjoy themselves, be creative, and have fun as part of a supportive and inclusive group.
