About the adventure
The listing glows on the console. Extraction job. Three days' burn. The pay is wrong, way too high for the distance, too clean for the sector. The engineer looks up from a panel bleeding copper wire. The pilot doesn't turn from her scope. Nobody asks what the catch is. The accountant runs the numbers one more time. Fuel against credits. Credits against debt. Debt against the collectors two jumps behind them. "We take it," the captain says. ------ The mech's reactor screams color—Loss cascades through the cockpit: amber warnings, crimson failures, the white spike of something critical giving way. The target wasn't supposed to have backup. The captain fires through the noise. Twice. Three times. Until the other machine blooms orange and stops. Comm crackles. The engineer's voice, static-torn: "Clear?" Smoke curls against the canopy. The console flickers—Loss, then signal, then a new listing already loading. "Clear enough." The ship limps toward the gate. Another job. Another wrong number. They always are.

About me
I am an entertainer at heart, whether that is on a stage, in a band or with you at the table. The games that I run build on my history as a musician, actor, designer and engineer. I love building systems that encourage creativity of both myself and my players. Layer by layer, I build complex living worlds full to the brim with adventure and mystery for players to explore and enjoy. I write and run games for people. Every person that joins one of my games is a unique contributor that brings something special. My goal as a GM is to help you, the player, play the game you want to play. To enjoy playing a character that speaks to you. Don't see a listing that speaks to you? Send me about a custom game in the Cosmere or Savage Worlds systems.

What Elias brings to the table
Curated Soundtrack: Campaign-specific playlists that shift with the tone. Tense negotiations, mech drops, quiet three-day burns between stations. Audio matters. Foundry VTT: Full system integration with COMP/CON sync, tactical hex maps, and dynamic lighting. Lancer's crunch runs smooth when the tools do the math. Tactical Mech Combat: Lancer shines when builds click and positioning matters. Expect encounters designed around your frames, not generic stat blocks. Downtime That Counts: The three-day burn between jobs isn't dead air. Character moments, crew dynamics, and choices that shape what jobs you take next. The margins are where story lives.
