About me

Hey, I'm Andrew and one of my greatest passions is role-playing games and creating worlds that people can enjoy. I have been playing role-playing games for 6 years now and DMing for 3 years, most of my experience is Dungeons and Dragons 5e and Call of Cthulhu, but I am always up for learning a new system that better fits the story I want to tell or is just more enjoyable for the player. When it comes to my players the most important thing is that they are having an enjoyable and fun time and feel like their character is affecting the story and the world around them. I am always open to changing my stories to better fit the situation or based on player feedback. For the most part, we will be using Discord for voice chat and then using Foundry VTT for gameplay but if a player is not comfortable using either of these we can discuss alternative sites to use.

GM Style

40% role play, 40% combat, 20% puzzles/investigations. Combat will usually have some mechanics that will make the players have to change their normal tactics to defeat the enemies, I am also very fond of murder mysteries so that might come up in most of my campaigns as a mix of role playing and puzzles. I try as much as I can to incorporate my players backstories into the story to make them feel like they are part of the world. I am very open to all roles and classes as long as it is discussed with me beforehand. I am also open to changing class features if it is going to be more fun/enjoyable for the player but this is within reason.

I can’t recommend Andrew enough to anyone looking for a game. I’m in two of his campaigns currently and in each one he lets the players really control the story. If you’re lucky enough to play with him you won’t regret it!

He is very good with new players, giving them time or help making their characters on foundry or beyond and allows people to fix mistakes they made. Andrew has very good maps and visuals that includes interactive maps to help bring the campaign to life. I'm currently playing in his Curse of Strahd sessions and it has been an enjoyable experience so far.

Andrew is the most understanding and passionate GM I've ever met, he always so kind and helpful about things in and out of character. He's one of the most fun guys to discuss DnD and Lancer with, he's super flexible and focuses on how to have the most fun during the game.
