About me
⚔️"Humans need fantasy to be human..."- Death⚔️ My name is Mike, and I'm a happy little TTRPG enthusiast currently residing in the South East of England, having claimed this land with the aid of my supportive partner and my less-than-supportive minions (three grumpy cats)! One day, after a theatre rehearsal, I was pressured into joining this weird cult where they rolled dice and seemed to pray to them for success... I then thought: "Why not let it consume my life?" Now I'm a GM with over 12 years of experience in over 40 different systems, meaning that I'm ever keen to share my love of Tabletop Role-Playing (TTRPG) with as many new players as I can! Thus, Kobold Kaverns was born, a goal of mine to help both fresh and veteran players alike to get involved in their favourite TTRPG settings, or to discover brand new ones, all presented with high-quality maps, tokens, music, and storytelling! Whether it is the well-known dungeons of D&D 5, or the dark and anarchist-filled future of Cyberpunk, the cramped, terrifying atmosphere of Alien, you are guaranteed to find a game (and a group) to suit your play style! Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my players fully engaged with the story, whether it be through laughter or tense anticipation of the action to come. My goal is to create an immersive and gratifying experience for all involved! Don't hesitate to contact me if you are seeking a passionate and experienced game master to help bring your TTRPG adventure to life. Let's connect for a friendly chat and discuss how we can make your gaming experience one to remember!

How Kobold Kaverns (GM Mike) creates a safe table
⭐- Play Safety Deck: Players will have access to a Safety Deck within Foundry VTT that will allow them to pause, fade to black, or fast forward gameplay (amongst other things) should the players feel uncomfortable in anyway. Use of this Safety Deck is anonymous and is a great tool used in all of my games! ⭐ - Open Door Policy: Real Life comes first - life happens, and that’s okay! My open-door policy means you can leave the game at any time for any reason-no questions asked, no pressure, no negative repercussions. Whether it's because of an emergency, discomfort, or simply because you're not enjoying the session, your well-being always comes first. I want you to know that your participation is always valued, but there’s no obligation to stay if real life calls or if the game’s not working for you. ⭐ - Our Gameplay: You can look forward to deep, narrative-driven sessions where character development, interaction, and teamwork are central. The world will present tactical challenges, and your decisions will have meaningful consequences-so think ahead! While I want you to have fun, when your character steps into a fire, expect them to get burned. The balance between risk and reward will drive much of the experience, and I’ll do my best to keep you on your toes! Your safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. By implementing these tools and practices, I hope to create a space where we can create a rich, immersive world together. Your comfort and feedback are vital to this, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts or suggestions along the way.
