About me

Hey! I've been playing RPGs my whole life but I got into (vitrual) tabletop games five years ago. I've been DMing for friends and family for about four years now, but I've got more campaign ideas than they have time to play so I want to start running games for some other folks! The majority of my experience is with D&D 5e, and I'm a huge fan of the Eberron campaign setting since its noir/steampunk elements add a lot more adventure options. I've also been playing Magic: the Gathering since I was 13, so I enjoying running adventures in Ravnica as well (and I'm team Simic in case you were wondering). Lately though, I've been trying to try new systems and I really enjoy Blades in the Dark since it has a great setting and relatively simple rules that makes for easy but entertaining storytelling. I've also been playing a fair amount of Call of Cthulhu, and really enjoy the investigative aspects and lethal combat of a horror game. I host my games on Roll20, and try to provide detailed maps for combat while most roleplaying is done via theater of the mind (although if things go completely off the rails, unexpected combat can be done this way as well). And while rules are important, making sure everyone is having fun and keeping the game moving is more important, so I try not to get bogged down in the minutiae. 18+ only due to mature language/themes and no creeps/jerks allowed, otherwise everyone is welcome! And feel free to get in touch with me if you have any other questions


GM style

I try to keep a good balance between roleplaying and combat, although that is largely dictated by the story. I like to keep an open world and prefer to go with whatever (often weird and definitely unexpected) paths that the players want to follow, and will only railroad the plot when absolutely necessary. I also try to use character voices as much as possible, but they often end up sounding pretty similar (my regular voice but a little bit lower), I'm working on that though! And lastly, I do have a pretty dark sense of humor, but no real-world bigotry or creepiness (especially anything sexual) will be allowed in my games.
