About Collin
I am a partner, dad, and storyteller and my goal is to always be improving my skills in those critical roles of my life. Storytelling has become a passion of mine because I love watching my children discover life lessons from stories we tell and games we play. I hope to share this passion with you in the stories we craft together. As your GM, player-focused gaming is my primary goal. Creative roleplay, fun puzzles and collaborative gameplay take the forefront in the systems I like to run. My NPCs will be quirky, strange, and interesting as the world reacts to your characters. Players can expect a timeline or storyline will loosely guide us as your characters change the setting around them. Ultimately, player decisions will reroute and change how our story resolves as we play through mini-arcs. Theater of the mind mini-series and Play by post (PBP) are my preferred spaces to tell stories. I explore different TTRPG systems constantly for new and creative ways to bring better storytelling to my players. I look forward to exploring your character and story elements you bring to the our next game. My only rules are to be Safe and be Kind. From there, we can have a world of fun with some amazing TTRPGs!

How Collin runs games
Teaching players while playing is my GM style! My favorite games are simple to pick up and play. Then, we steadily build upon player choices and their knowledge of the game system. We all have limited time to play, so I run my games with a focus on exploring as much game content as possible! Challenging players with dynamic character decisions is a skill I continually develop to craft memorable games for my tables.
Collin's ideal table
My table is always open and online! Play by post has been a fantastic way to connect with people all over the world who enjoy theater of the mind and crafting wonderful stories together over time.
