About the adventure
San Francisco. 2185. The world has changed. Cybernetics are widespread. Corporations have become the world powers. Space travel in the solar system is ramping up. It is both an amazing and dangerous time to be alive on Earth. A handful of Cyberpunks, like you, have been brought together to perform a simple task for some extra wonlongs, but nothing is ever that easy. You and your crew find yourselves in in the middle of a global conspiracy that expands far beyond the globe... (Campaign starts at 1st Level and can carry until 20th Level. Many of the established modules will be run as well as a ton of custom content.)

About me
Welcome! Thank you for considering me as the GM of your game! Some tidbits about me–I am a writer, 3D artist, veteran, and family man. Yes, I am actually a "Doctor", but an academic type so don't ask me for any medical advice! You could consider me a “forever” GM that began running TTRPG campaigns of all sorts some 35 years ago. I have been running sessions on Roll20 for 9 years. I have certainly enjoyed being on the other side of games being a player, but I guess I am addicted to being a GM! What is my GMing style? Every person at my table is respected and valued. I know the rules well and love to help new players. I enjoy helping you with character creation, backstory and other aspects of character concepts. I am as easy-going as they come, so nothing really gets me bent out of shape at any point–but I do ask for respect for all at our table. I enjoy working with the players on the story of their characters and weaving their story into the campaign. I am all about voice acting for the many NPC personalities you will encounter, playing music to set the mood of the scene, and living the “rule of cool” for the sake of story. Most of the games I run are gritty, which I will explain below. Ask me about my CUSTOM GAMES!

What Dr. LandShark brings to the table
MY GOAL My goal is for the entire table to have fun during every session! MY STYLE 35% - Combat 35% - Roleplay 20% - Exploration 10% - Puzzles These percentages are what I typically find myself doing when I GM. But when I start a campaign, I speak with the table about what they want those percentages to look like! I do love for players to be In Character as much as possible. This certainly helps with the session experience! I love GMing tables in which the PCs are a part of major canon events. Death Star blew up? The PCs had a part in that. Lolth went silent? You know the real reason why. PCs are emerging heroes - they should feel like it! When I GM, you get voice acting, dynamic maps and lighting, music, and a focus on the PCs!
