About me

Like a lot of fellas my age, I started out playing Dungeons and Dragons in the 1980s. And, if you've ever seen "ET" or "Stranger Things", it was *exactly* like that (right down to the wooden paneling in the basement). Throughout the years, I've had the privilege to sit across the gaming table from some *wonderfully* knowledgeable players and game masters. And I've had an opportunity to play a wide variety of games. I'd like to pass those experiences on to others, so that they can enjoy a *really* great session at the gaming table as much as I have.

GM Style

I want my players to creatively help craft the outcome of their own game. The best games I've ever run are where a player said, "What if I..." or "Can we..." as opposed to just following along with the story line. Pre-canned adventures? Custom adventures? They're all great as long as my players are shaping the environment along the way. Who are my favorite types of players? 1) Brand new, shiny, never-played-an-RPG-before people. 2) Long-time veterans who are humble, patient, and courteous enough to play with new players.
