About me
Gamemaster with 32 years experience in a wide variety of systems and genres. Specialized in the running of Savage Worlds games with a focus on Deadlands stories. Currently working as a therapeutic GM for The Bodhana Group in York Pennsylvania designing stories and game programs for adjunct therapy and skill building for kids and adults.
GM Style
My mantra is "Story not details". Unless there is a specific mechanic built in for it then yes, you have ammo and you can carry a sensible amount of things on a quest. I enjoy mixing in a variety of different challenges for my players between combat, mental, social and moral challenges to advance the story. I assume that while I create the initial story it is the players that drive where it goes through investment and character agency. I know where we start and where the end is going to be. How they get there is up to them. I want the experiences at the table to be cinematic in nature with descriptions of exciting actions and detailed scenarios. Ultimately RPGs are about the shared experience of telling a compelling and exciting story and I revel in making sure everyone in my game feels a part of that.
