About me
As a seasoned chef by trade, when I'm not whipping up culinary masterpieces in the kitchen, I'm a tabletop RPG Game Master, conjuring fantastical worlds for brave adventurers to explore. I bring my chef's touch to the table, running lighthearted "beer and pretzel" games where laughter flows freely. My games run primarily on Foundry Vtt, using discord for voice and video. My DM style is improvisational and i love to make things up on the fly and use silly voices. I've run games for my local FLGS for 8 years and 10 years in total, as well as teaching role playing games as part of afterschool clubs for 3-5th graders and 5-8th graders. Using my years of experience, i've run tables as big as 12 players with ages from 60+ to as low as 4! Very open to trying new and different RPG's and stepping out of my comfort zone, experience is the mother of wisdom! Check out my youtube for my live play series to get a feel for who i am!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need access to discord for voice and possibly video if you feel comfortable. No game or foundry experience necessary! Hell, you don't even need a computer! (but it sure helps). If you are a new player, we will learn as we play!
