About me
I run story-rich, player-driven adventures. You bring the characters—I’ll bring the world—we will make it ours together. My GM style is relaxed, story-rich, and collaborative. Whether you want kick-down-the-door dungeon crawls, exploration, westmarches, horror, or mysteries in the dark, I’ll tailor the game to your players. One-shots are brisk and punchy, delivering a complete adventure in a single session. Campaigns are dynamic and sandbox-style, shaped by your preferences, backstories, and play style. I’ve run many games and campaigns across a variety of systems: • D&D • Dungeon Crawl Classics • Mutant Crawl Classics • Call of Cthulhu • Traveller, • Top Secret • Shadowdark • Mörk, Cy_Borg, Pirate Borg My shelves are stacked with classics and modern gems alike—I’ve got you covered. If not, I can run it. I’ve run games for everything from bachelor parties to birthday surprises, corporate team-building events to reunions. My tables are welcoming, flexible, and focused on making sure everyone has fun. The best games are forged in shared challenges and the camaraderie that comes with them. Let’s tell some amazing stories together!

Creating your character
Characters will start out at 1st level. Before the game the character cn be made on Discord or D&DBeyond. I will send you and invite to the campaign on Discord. Pre-Made Characters are available on request.
This One shot is being played with D&D 5e. The party has recovered a map to the Dünerain mines from their would-be assassin. The chance to learn about who is behind the assassination can’t be missed. The journey through the rolling foothills along the edge of the forest was thankfully unremarkable. You’ve had time to consider what may lie ahead in the once-abandoned Dünerain mine. You know it used to once be a prosperous crystal mine, providing exquisite gems for artificers and jewelers across the lands. No one knows for certain why the mine shut down. Most folk believe the crystal deposits were simply mined out. But there are rumors that something stirs deep in the bowels of the earth - something that did not take kindly to intruders. You lose your train of thought as the tree line breaks. The massive peaks of the Dünerain mountains loom overhead. Your destination is clear. A hundred feet up is a large opening hewn from the face of the mountain. A wide dirt path pocked with wagon tracks leads to the mine entrance. Even from this distance, you can see large figures moving around inside the entrance. This adventure is the 5th chapter played as a one shot with your favorite 5-7th Level characters. Come play this chapter...get hooked on the excellent series.

How Mark creates a safe table
Each player will be provided with a private Discord channel for the discussion of issues or concerns before, during and after sessions. The content warnings will vary depending on the game choice, but it is highly likely the game will have levels of violence involving player characters and non-player characters, with death always being a possibility. SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. Additional breaks are always available on request. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
