About me
I've been running and playing tabletop RPGs since 2013 with friends, family, and coworkers across a variety of systems, including Savage Worlds, White Wolf’s Vampire, Hunter, and Werewolf lines, as well as Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, 5e, and One D&D. I love welcoming new players to the hobby and have guided dozens of first-timers through their first adventures. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned veteran, I strive to create a dynamic, welcoming table where character choices matter and the world reacts. I'm especially passionate about crafting memorable NPCs and presenting narrative-driven challenges—then watching how the party reshapes the story through their decisions. The more backstory and character detail you bring, the more I’ll integrate it into the world to create something personal and collaborative. My GM style leans on the Rule of Cool, moderated by internal logic and mechanical balance. I respect the rules and use them to support the narrative, but story and fun always take precedence.
