About me
I am an experienced Game Master with over two decades of tabletop roleplaying experience and more than a decade of regular GMing. I have run games for a wide range of groups, from brand-new players to veteran “forever GMs,” across many different tones, genres, and campaign styles. My focus as a GM is on delivering engaging, well-paced sessions that feel immersive, fair, and fun. I enjoy building worlds, crafting memorable scenes, and helping players bring their characters to life through meaningful choices and consequences. Every game I run is designed to be a complete experience, whether it’s a one-shot, short arc, or long-term campaign. I strive to create a welcoming, inclusive table where players feel comfortable exploring their characters, collaborating with the group, and investing in the story. My goal is simple: run great games that players look forward to every session.

Creating your character
All characters will be created collaboratively during a free Session 0. You will be playing as Origin Dalish Heroes—members of a people who originated in the Dales and adopted a nomadic lifestyle generations ago. Character creation will focus on collaboration and storytelling, prioritizing shared culture, memory, and purpose over optimization. During Session 0, we will: 🤝 Establish your people’s shared history, traditions, and songs. 🏕️ Define why your traveling village has returned to the Dales. 🧭 Decide what goal lies beyond the Dales—and why you must keep moving. Characters will be built using tropes and themes from the "Legend in the Mist" Core Rulebook and the "Hearts of Ravensdale" campaign book, specifically drawing on the Dalish Heroes framework. These tools will help you quickly create characters with strong narrative hooks, emotional depth, and clear roles within the traveling community. No prior knowledge of the system is required. Session 0 will be guided, welcoming, and cozy, designed to ensure that every character feels grounded in the world and connected to the group from the very start.
