About me
Hello! I am a long-time off-and-on player and GM. I have experience playing many RPGs over the years. I am open to trying out new game systems, but 5E is what I am most familiar with lately. I am a professional educator and I enjoy teaching new players as well as running with experienced players. I have experience gaming with players of all ages.
GM Style
I tend to run games that are a mix of role playing and combat. I plan to be flexible and make adjustments as a campaign goes on. I have experience with published adventures, and I can home-brew something totally new and unique. I run mostly Rules-As-Written, keeping in mind that we are epic heroes on an epic quest to do epic things. The Rule of Cool definitely applies. My main goal is meeting the needs and desires of the players, and ensuring that everyone has a positive experience.

I'm having a great experience. I haven't played a ttrpg in a while and this is a breath of fresh air. Aaron is terrific at storytelling and if you want a fun game that you feel like you're making an impact in play his campaigns.

Aaron built a large, immersive world and gives his players lots of freedom to explore however they wish. Plot hooks were clear and easy to follow, but I didn't feel like I was being forced in a particular direction. He easily incorporated our decisions into the narrative - like befriending an intelligent horse and making them a member of the party. An excellent sandbox-style game where I felt like my character's actions were helping to shape the world.
Tovah
I enjoyed the story set out for us. The plot hooks were clear, and we had the freedom to explore the situations as we pleased. Aaron was great and rolling with it but also keeping us on track. The locations and world were well described, the characters were fun, and the maps were well done. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the story we played through and can't wait to explore more!
Kara
I thoroughly enjoy the voicing of characters and his ability to build into the story where the book hasn't filled in the blanks. He's also very patient when players are stuck and need a nudge to make a decision or subtle reminders if your party agrees to this. He tries to incorporate appropriate sound effect music based on the adventure. I'm a beginner in the D&D world and have thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience and are planning our next 2 adventures and the 1st isn't even finished.

Aaron does a good job of including everyone and keeping the story moving at a steady pace. His voices for NPCS are very funny. He also allows custom/monsters races for players. 9/10
