About me
Roll20 GM since 2017 with over 1300 hours of experience. Military veteran specialising in grimdark sci-fi, fantasy and historical settings. Delivering well-prepared games on a punctual schedule. Sessions include a balance of unpredictability and improvisation. Expect high-quality VTTs, NPC interactions, supporting media, token art, and character immersion. If you love detailed and interconnected narratives with intrigue and puzzles, then we will have a blast telling stories together. My storytelling journey started in the mid-2000s with a few minis, a handful of little green soldiers and an old deck of cards to 'roll'. I was obsessed with Sci-fi tales of unique characters and heroic adventures, be it grand scale or humble beginnings. Fast forward many years, I found myself creating and hosting online server-based events in GMod (Event Master) and ARMA3 (Zeus Mission Maker) roleplay communities. Telling stories, creating roleplay environments and improvising as characters made thousands of hours fly by. Some would be surprised by the amount of hobby time I would spend writing stories for what was a free community activity, and the enjoyment and satisfaction of it was payment itself. When I found myself moving to TTRPG's I found the skills to be highly transferable in what was essentially another system format to apply creative flow into. 40k Imperium Maledictum and Genesys systems in particular are my favourite to dive deep into lore and narratives.

How Icarus creates a safe table
Session 0 is critical as it will cover the table's expectations, comfort zone and discussion of expected content. For those joining the Campaign later on, I will have a one-on-one discussion to make sure you will be comfortable joining in and to discuss expectations. This is a beginner friendly game, assistance will be provided on character sheets and rules. You may simply declare your character's intent and be open to learning.
