About me

Howdy, I'm Alex, a thirty-something IT professional from the UK with an overabundance of ideas and a dearth of good outlets to share them with people, so I'm getting into the online tabletop scene. I have been playing tabletop games since probably 2005, starting with good ol' 3.5 edition Dungeons & Dragons. I knew early that someday I wanted to be the guy behind the screen throwing the dice and narrating what happened, and around 2014/2015 I started trying it. In the ten years since, I've GM'd multiple campaigns in-person and online, dipped my toes into various systems, and spent an inordinate amount of time homebrewing content and original rules & minigames to wedge into my games.

GM Style

Some touchstones for getting in sync with my vibe at the table would be Dishonored, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Lies of Locke Lamora, Sam & Max, X-Men '97, and the entire Discworld franchise. Terry Pratchett was my favourite author; as a result my games trend towards tongue-in-cheek high fantasy and gentler low fantasy with plenty of sword, sorcery and maybe a little science. I enjoy both the roleplaying aspects and the tactical aspects of D&D, and the same goes for other systems (where appropriate). I don't expect players to defer to my every whim about how a game should progress; I tailor my games around what my players would like to encounter, and do my best to create a world they will enjoy exploring, questing and battling across.
