About me

I started as a GM because my friends and I wanted to play and I was the one willing to GM. It’s been over 12 years since that fateful decision and I’ve never looked back! I love to create whole worlds with immersive locations, mysterious lore, and exciting adventures for you to explore. I have run games in Forgotten Realms, and in various custom settings. Now my home-brew setting is my preferred setting. Let’s play some games and tell great stories together!

GM Style

I like to balance between roleplay and combat. I love to create a fun and immersive experience for my players, whether they're new or veterans to the game. In my games, I blend the events of the story with the backstories of the PC’s, including inventive random encounters, story arcs, and quests to make them unique and engaging. I feel the rules are there to provide a fun frame for the game, but shouldn’t be held on to at the sacrifice of fun. To bring the worlds to life I often use theatre of the mind occasionally providing artwork to add to the ambiance. And when combat ensues, we break to the battle maps for some tactical gameplay.

It was my first time when I played D&D and the GM presented the game and characters in a captivating way, helping me choose one that suits my personality. He crafted a cool story, and I believe his storytelling style adds to creating an intriguing narrative. For those who think it's a difficult game and that it will take them a long time to learn (like me before trying it), I recommend playing it at least once to see how cool the story is and how much it grabs you.
