About Michael 'Azmyth' Azzolino

Thank you for taking interest and visiting my Professional Game Master profile! The games & stories I create are fulfilling to play and provide a unique gaming experience. I think I am an exceptional value for your entertainment! For decades I have documented my creativity in journals, packed with unique treasures, wild critters and epic adventures! I offer to you brave adventurer, the opportunity to visit and explore the vast mindscape of the GrumpyGM! I focus on organic plot development in my stories and prefer to empower my players to influence & shape their world, instead of just reacting to it. I am a very skilled (improvisational) role player with a bottomless bag of tools, tricks, and techniques in my arsenal. My style allows me to fluidly react to curveballs provided by out of the box thinking players and deploy improvisational designs on the fly. I love the dynamics and endless possibilities with adventures in urban settings! Considered one the most difficult setting to properly portray by a game master, urban environments are my absolute favorite! Seriously, twist my arm, you won't regret it! I am passionate about developing complicated tales of intrigue and power politics. I provide a closest experience to actually being at my game table! Physical maps, terrain, and heaps of painted miniatures! I use cameras instead of software and have deployed this system for over 10 years. I believe in the "spirit of the game". My goal is to give each player equal time in the spotlight. I create a safe, inclusive space for everyone to play at my table. My goal is for everyone to have fun! Who exactly will you be hiring to lead your adventure? I have been involved with the game industry, in various capacities for over twenty years. I am a professional video & table top game designer. I specialize in teaching new players as well as helping veteran players and GMs alike, raise the bar on their Craft. I provide Corporate Team building programs utilizing table top gaming! I run multiple campaign style D&D games for several groups of 9-13 year old children. I am a lifestyle gamer with 40+ years of experience playing, mastering, writing, and world designing for tabletop role playing games. I serve on the Board of Directors of a non-profit that creates & utilizes role playing games as cognitive educational tools. I was the "boss-man" of the largest Organized Play Program in northern California for many years. I was the host and producer of a 'fairly' successful RPG podcast. I was the very first GM to broadcast TTRPG sessions on the Twitch platform! It was actually called justin.tv back when I started streaming. I was an early pioneer (2009) in developing methods of hosting & streaming tabletop RPG games as an alternative to using virtual tabletop software. I call it, "Real Remote Tabletop". Hire me as your Game Master and I promise the experience will exceed your expectations! https://www.youtube.com/c/azmythbusters I have a Patreon page.
