About me
My name is Eric, he\him. I am Canadian, a father of 3 great kids, a husband and a nerd. 🇨🇦 My very first character was a Gnomish Tinkerer built using AD&Ds Dragonlance Adventures and my cousin-DM absolutely despised him. He ended up killing my gnome with a wyvern in my second session ever. Even with such a rocky start I was hooked on TTRPGs. I started DMing my own game shortly afterwards, convincing some friends in highschool to play The Lord of the Rings Adventure Game. After growing up around The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings it felt like a natural fit. We traveled around Mirkwood, into the Frozen Heath, fighting Orcs, Spiders and wild beasts. I've come a long way from those beginnings almost 25 years ago and am excited to make new stories with new people.

What Eric the Red brings to the table
20+ years of Game Mastery experience 2+ years of Monster of the Week I watched shows like X-Files and Xena, and Buffy waaaaay to young. Big fan of horror. Some of my favourites: Alien Aliens Friday the 13th The Thing Sinners I provide voices for every character and mood music. I am very collaborative and take suggestions from my players. This is more your story than it is mine and I want my players to have ownership of their fate.

How Eric the Red creates a safe table
I run a safe and inclusive table. People from all walks of life are welcome. I keep swearing to a minimum - only when characters call for it. I run my games at about a rated R movie level
