The Dare

Hello and welcome! I’m Mr. Mike. I bring a unique background to the table—I’ve worked as a post-mortem vascular surgeon, licensed mortician, private investigator, and a counselor working with at-risk youth. Real-life experience with the darker side of humanity has shaped the way I run horror: grounded, intense, and unforgettable. My love for horror started early, reading Cujo in 5th grade, and hasn’t slowed down since—700+ books later. Favorites include Jaws and the deeply unsettling Feeders from Within by Peter Evans. If you enjoy dread, tension, and psychological horror—you’re in the right place. Why I Run Games I didn’t exactly grow up on the straight and narrow. As a kid in Milwaukee, I got into my fair share of trouble—until a friend picked up the DC Heroes Roleplaying Game. Everything changed. Instead of causing chaos, we started creating stories. That experience stuck with me: boredom creates trouble—storytelling creates purpose. That philosophy still drives how I run games today. What You Can Expect at My Table • Immersive, story-first horror (especially Call of Cthulhu) • Strong atmosphere, tension, and meaningful choices • A balance of roleplay, investigation, and mechanics • Sessions that respect your time—but leave an impact Finding a great GM can be a gamble—I aim to be one you’ll come back to. My Games I regularly run a variety of published and custom scenarios, adding new material every month. Original Scenarios: • Fit for Duty (9–12 hours): A deep, intense experience • Naked and Afraid… Well, Maybe (3 hours): Fast-paced, mysterious, and unpredictable I also have new original scenarios currently in development—so there’s always something fresh coming. Final Thoughts To everyone who has played at my table—thank you. Your support and reviews mean everything. If you’re looking for something different… something darker… I’d love to have you at the table. Hope to see you soon. —Mr. Mike
