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.

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.

I've been playing with Andrew for a couple months now. Every Sunday night the gnag gets together and Andrew leads up through another fun adventure. Right now we're descending into Avernus and I can't wait to see what happens next week. I find myself thinking about the next adventure days before we sit down to play.

Andrew does a great job of taking all of his player's preferences into consideration. He's very open to feedback and actively adjusts his game to his players. I would recommend his table for anyone.
