About me
This section asks to list my experience GMing and my experience with tabletop games. This almost baits me to brag, so the following answer is in matter of fact fashion, to the point. - "Tabletop games" is a broad category, so I will skip Monopoly, Scramble, Mafia, Splendor, Fallout, Cards against Humanity, Uno, Carcassonne etc. Only to say, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed those games. - Started off at school as Warhammer fan, but I found I liked painting minifigs with friends way more than core rule-book games. I liked communal aspect, and connection, so I gathered them, made it a point to schedule during year 9 and 10. - Hosted D&D club back in middle school and high school (GCSE and A-levels for my fellow Brits), we ran classic dungeon crawls in 3e, had a blast painting minifigs, organising and hosting all whilst introducing new players into the hobby. - Throughout university years and up until now, hosted TTRPGs both in private and public groups (Uni clubs and local Game stores wherever I happened to live at the time), ever since covid run campaigns online via Discord. - D&D 5e, WoD (including Mage the Ascention, Werewold the Apocalypse 3e, and Vampire the Masquerade), from Talsorian: Witcher and fully chromebooked cyberpunk 2020. Overall, I am a classic forever GM, who even got to play here and than, as most of my players ended up graduating into GMs, each for their individual reasons. I love people, and I love gifting them with fleeting connection of private good times.
