Find Your First Five: Marketing Yourself as a GM on StartPlaying

Hey there, I’m Brad. Welcome to my table! My games range from light-hearted and whimsical to deep, mysterious, and character-driven. Whether we’re laughing over a wild crit fail or unraveling a shadowy conspiracy, I focus on keeping the story engaging through plenty of “yes, and…” moments. I love creating collaborative stories where every player feels seen and every choice matters. New to gaming? You’re in great company. We’ll learn, explore, and level up together. A little about me: I’m a U.S. Army Veteran and served with the 1st Infantry Division in Afghanistan. Those years taught me the power of teamwork, flexibility, and resilience. All of which show up in how I run my games. After my time in the military, my wife Amanda and I faced a tough chapter of our own. After going through an ectopic pregnancy, we channeled our energy into something joyful: starting The Scheming Cookie, where we handcraft creative, protein-packed treats that are as bold and sweet as the people we bake them for. I don’t just "run games", I provide a premium service. When you join my table, you are investing in a consistent, high-fidelity experience. This means: Reliability: I value your time. My sessions start on the dot, and my technical setup is optimized for zero-latency, immersive audio and visual play. Proactive Communication: I utilize a custom Discord RSVP system. You will receive a notification 3-4 days before every session to confirm availability, ensuring our group stays synced and the game stays on track. A Proven Track Record: I maintain consistent high ratings by prioritizing player agency, safety, and fun. Ready to claim your seat? Check my active listings below.
