About me
🎲 Roleplayer and GM of over 30 years in a variety of gaming systems 🎲 . . . my love for TTRPGs was sparked when I was 13 years old with the introduction to AD&D 2nd edition at a small, local comic book shop I randomly stopped in. Since then I have run and played in countless games for all ages and types of players, coordinated small local gaming conventions, GMed at large gaming conventions, and never lost the love for roleplaying. New to StartPlaying as a platform in order to supplement the cost of books and materials to invest back into this hobby and passion of mine, but also to have the opportunity to meet and roleplay with new and interesting people from all over. As I am now older, with a career and family, getting out of the house and being away all weekend to travel to conventions or spending long hours on a weekend at the local gaming shop simply isn't an option. I see this as the perfect platform to fit my availability, while still making myself broadly accessible for the player base at large. Here is to hoping I get to connect with you!
