About me

I've been GM'ing for 4 years. I enjoy using different systems but prefer using Cypher System the most. I have been married for 12 years, I have 2 cats and a puppy. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and that's how I first got into gaming, as a way to spend time with them.

GM Style

My GM'ing style is Teaching. I like taking new players with little or no experience and helping them get started with playing games. I prefer using the Cypher System, as I found it is the easiest for new players to get into, and focuses more on story and roleplay than on combat, which also fits my style of GM'ing. Most of my games are home-brewed, but I do take some inspiration from established settings. If more focus on story and roleplay than on combat and rules heavy gameplay sounds good, then you'll definitely enjoy newbie friendly home-brewed games.

Buddy was my first GM, and was great at explaining what was going on. I would probably have never tried playing these games if not for him. I really can't recommend him enough!

He had a lot of twists and made the story really come alive. It was a lot of fun, and was great for a beginner like me.
