About me

I run a Twitch channel (http://twitch.tv/twentysidestoeverystory) and have experience running games at conventions and at game stores. I love a mix of old school dungeon crawl action, roleplay and exploration. My love of D&D goes back to my days as a kid playing my first session of Keep on the Borderlands and getting slaughtered by a kobold immediately upon entering the Caves of Chaos (you can imagine what kind of imprint this has left on me as an adult). I love to play D&D both for the drama and for the laughter, so I hope we can enjoy a mix of both at a game together soon.

GM Style

I do the silly voices. Sometimes I wear a hat. Mostly, I like to have fun. I really enjoy when I have the chance to improvise because a player does something unexpected - so I am more than happy to allow players to go off the rails and try something surprising. When it comes to game mechanics, I like to be pretty flexible with regards to the rules and allow the possible to happen even if it breaks RAW (often with a roll of the dice). If you'd really like to check out my style, take a look at any number of videos we have posted on the Twenty Sides to Every Story YouTube or Twitch channels. Join a game and lets tell a story together!

Well organized...lots of role-playing and plenty of combat! Feels like traditional, old school DnD...looking forward to future sessions!

It is always a pleasure to have Alex GM a session of any game. First off, he is very kind and welcoming to all. He takes the time to help out new players understand game mechanics in a way that never bogs down a game session. One can expect find oneself fully engaged in every story. His words paint a picture of worlds of fantasy and adventure that include wacky npcs, thrilling monsters, and everything in between. It is evident that Alex is well experienced in all things table top, in the ways he handle all situations. All player characters are included in his games, and all are allowed to tell their own story. Players will find combat to be fair and simply put, fun. I highly recommend jumping in a game with GM Alex; He is well prepared and a blast to play with.

Playing with Alex and the 20 Sides community may be the thing that allowed me to survive the 2020 quarantine. The whole community is friendly and welcoming, and if you're looking for a place to get into some online TTRPGs, I strongly recommend this group.

Alex runs a game that is committed to a good time. A perfect balance of humor, pop references and crunchy combat. Definitely in the top tier of storytellers.
