About Zachary
My name is Zack I am a Game Master with 10+ years of experience crafting immersive, player-driven tabletop RPGs. I specialize in narrative-rich campaigns where player choices matter and the world reacts meaningfully to their decisions. My games emphasize strong character development, collaborative storytelling, and dynamic plots built around player backstories. I have extensive experience running a variety of systems, including Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, and more. Whether you’re looking for intense roleplay, tactical combat, mystery and horror, or a balanced mix, I tailor each session to match the group’s preferred style. Communication and preparation are core to my approach. I work closely with my players to set expectations, create a welcoming table, and ensure everyone feels engaged and invested. I pride myself on being organized, adaptable, and committed to delivering a polished, professional experience every session. If you’re looking for a Game Master who values player agency and unforgettable storytelling, I’d love to bring your next adventure to life.

How Zachary runs games
I like to cater the experience to the expeditions of my players. This means on session 0 we discuss the kind of things they want in their game. I also tend to really organize my campaigns so that everything runs smoothly. I am more RP-focused and try to do voices and try to keep the campaign as immersive as possible. The biggest thing I like to do is try to add ARG things to my campaigns. Such as creating documents to give to players, music, voice-overs or thematic elements that enhance the world for them.

My games focus on...
Narrative first and rules second. Because nothing takes someone out of a game faster than. "you can't do that because there is not a rule for it!" Rules help organize and ground the experience but narrative makes the experience memorable.
