About flashingturtle
I have been running weekly games on Fantasy Grounds for around ten years and have hosted hundreds of sessions as a virtual Gamemaster. I run a wide range of systems and published campaigns, including Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, Savage Worlds, and both classic and modern Dungeons & Dragons adventures. Much of my library has been personally converted to Fantasy Grounds from original books or PDFs, allowing me to run fully prepared material without waiting for official releases. Preparation and presentation are important to me. I take pride in creating structured, well organised sessions that maintain momentum while giving players space to explore and develop their characters. My interest in tabletop roleplaying began in the late 1980s with Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, and it has remained a consistent part of my life ever since. What began as a hobby has become a long standing passion for storytelling, adaptation, and immersive play. At the table, I focus on atmosphere, steady pacing, fairness, and player engagement. I aim to create a respectful, collaborative environment where both new and experienced players feel comfortable and involved.

How flashingturtle runs games
I enjoy running crunchy games with clear mechanics and plenty of opportunities for roleplay along the way. Combat uses locked grids on high-quality maps sourced from Patreon and other professional creators, with careful attention paid to line of sight to keep encounters immersive and tactical. A headset with push-to-talk is required. No cameras are used. Expect a dangerous world, tense encounters, and plenty of monsters. Beginners are very welcome and fully supported.
