About me

A laid-back lifetime gamer of over 20 years who loves kicking back, and having fun in improving as a gamemaster in tabletop role playing games. My favorite table top roleplaying game is Cyberpunk RED. Writing makes it super interesting, creating the pace of the game, and stirring up the suspense of surprises. My games are personal missions for me to have an awesome, memorable time together as a group! I look forward to having a blast playing Dungeons and Dragons, Cyberpunk, and trying new games! Thank You for Reading! -Erin

GM Style

I have a developing passion for roleplay, experimenting with character voices, and improving with improvised acting! I savor creative combat tactics, and also innovative stealth. (Im still not sick of the usual tropes though!)

A wonderful DM. He had me for sometime and I enjoyed it! He's great for allowing rule of cool as well as teaching new players of the system they're playing, patient and fun

I have had many great sessions with Erin and always looking forward to the next one. Before our first game he set and talked with the group about what they were looking for from this and what there goals and wants were for the campaign. Listened to everyone one and set the stage for a epic series. I'm very much looking forward to this every week and I'm sure will be a fun ride. Recommend jumping in to one of his games and learning the game if you're new or just enjoying the ride if you're a seasoned Edgerunner. See you around Choombas!

Erin did an amazing job setting the stage and welcoming the players with a positive welcoming vibe. He encouraged creativity and shared excitement with us when cool things happened. It's obvious he puts a lot of thought into his games, highly recommended.

Erin has an excellent understanding of the Rules for his Cyberpunk game that allows the game to move forward keeping everyone engaged. He is very descriptive in his scenes and lives by the Rule of Cool instead of RAW. He keeps the action centered on the players and encourages descriptive role play. Join with confidence.

From the moment our group convened for my inaugural campaign, it was evident that Erin was no ordinary Game Master. His distinct ability to create engaging narratives, combined with an exceptional talent for inclusion and facilitation, resulted in an experience that was extraordinary, memorable, and undeniably fun. Erin's mastery of his role is immediately apparent in the welcoming atmosphere he fosters. It is his exceptional aptitude for establishing an environment where everyone, irrespective of their familiarity or proficiency with the game, feels genuinely welcome. This open environment encourages participation, promoting diverse interactions that enrich the gaming experience for all. But what truly sets Erin apart is his engagement. He is not a GM who sits back and merely orchestrates; he is actively involved, enthusiastically sharing in the excitement, suspense, and triumphs of the group. His passion for the game is infectious, making each session an electrifying journey of collective story-building. Moreover, Erin's excitement at seeing the group succeed is palpable. He doesn't just run a campaign; he facilitates an adventure where every victory is a shared celebration. He instills a sense of camaraderie that transcends the gaming table, making each win feel genuinely rewarding. The real magic, however, lies in Erin's approach to problem-solving. He does not dictate or constrain but encourages and applauds creative solutions. His storytelling is not a rigid pathway, but an expansive landscape of possibilities, allowing players to explore, experiment, and carve their own unique paths. This approach not only enhances the overall immersion but also fosters a sense of creative ownership and agency amongst the players. To sum it up, Erin is more than a phenomenal Game Master; he is a maestro of imaginative storytelling. His campaigns are not just games, but shared adventures, living narratives that evolve with each roll of the dice. If you are fortunate enough to participate in one of his campaigns, prepare yourself for an experience that is as enjoyable as it is unforgettable. Erin's table isn't just a place to play; it's a place to belong, to explore, and to triumph. It's a place where stories come to life, and where every player can be a hero.
