About me
Hello adventurers! I've been playing and DMing various RPGs for the last 22 years, and started playing online during the pandemic. I love to meet new people and grow as a roleplayer and game master as a result. I play DnD 5e, vampire the masquerade, exalted 3rd and various custom settings. My settings and my games are usually gritty, somewhat dark in tone but with a touch of humor, usually in the low to mid magic/fantasy level, altough I'm open to other styles, especially in one-shots.
GM Style
Good mix of combat, exploration and social. Gritty, somewhat dark, usually low to medium fantasy. I like to discuss style, tone, limits, triggers and the like with players before we play and build something together. I love a good roleplaying moment and I will not punish a player who makes "bad" choices because it is consistent with his/her character, or at least not without discussing it first. I consider the players to be co authors in the story we write together

Alex's attention to detail for the world he is representing really blew me away as a player. I felt like I really was a kindred placed inside a society much greater than myself. I also really enjoyed how the game brought the pack together to focus on the major storyline yet gave options for individual exploration of the world as downtime. I really look forward to booking more games!
Alex is a good DM. He keeps the game flowing and his homebrew content is well thought out and fun to play. You can tell he is a student of history and you can see those influences in his games. He knows the game well and gives each player time on the spot light if the player wants it. Thanks Alex for the few weeks we played together!
