Meet the Game Master
About me
I’m a humble GameMaster in my 30s, from West Coast Canada and I love Dungeons & Dragons This game has been a core passion of mine ever since I discovered it during COVID and all I want to do is share it with everyone. What began with simple curiousty about this new show called Critical Role, and rag tag group called Vox Machina quickly grew into a full-blown love for Exandria and the incredible storytelling potential within it. Since then, I’ve immersed myself deeply in the world — watching and rewatching Critical Role, learning its lore, and, most importantly, finding ways to expand on it with stories of my own. I draw heavy inspiration from Matthew Mercer, Aabria Iyengar, and Brennan Lee Mulligan — particularly their focus on collaborative storytelling, emotional stakes, and character-driven narratives. My goal as a Game Master is not just to run a game, but to create a space where players feel empowered to explore rich backstories, make meaningful choices, and experience genuine character growth over time. I’ve been GMing consistently for over two years, running between 3–5 sessions per week for most of that time. I’ve also spent the past year running games professionally through SPG, and I bring that experience to every table I run. I gravitate strongly toward long-form campaigns, where stories are allowed to breathe and evolve naturally. My most recent campaign ran for 50 sessions over the course of a year and featured dedicated narrative arcs for every player character. If you’re looking for a player-driven campaign set in Exandria — one that respects the lore while boldly adding to it — and a GM who’s deeply invested in your character’s journey, you’ll feel right at home at my table.
