About me
I'm an experienced GM who's been telling stories since 1995; and telling them in the form of TTRPGs since 2010. I always wanted to write for a living and I kept hearing about D&D; these mythical games where the goal was slaying monsters, saving the world and above all weaving a legendary tale with friends, but it took me over a decade to find an actual table to join. When I heard about Startplaying I couldn't wait to sign up and make these games that I love accessible to everyone that wants to play. If you (like I once was) are a beginner who's always wanted to play but never had a table to join; or if you're an old hat who can't squeeze enough games in (like I am now), there's a place for you at my table.
GM Style
I try to balance every aspect of the game we love: puzzles, combat, RP and storytelling. As a natural story teller I do have a bias towards story and RP and do reward players for leaning into that, but I recognise that's not what everyone loves about the game. I won't make you give a speech to convince a guard to let you pass if you'd rather just roll persuasion, but if you, in character, give a compelling reason for him to let you pass, you might find the DC lower.

Great maps, excellent RP and combat. Gives room to players for creativity while also keeping clear structure and expectations.

Amazing GM. It was my first time playing D&D and he ignited the spark that's made me a life long fan. Very quick witted and funny. He clearly put the time in between and during sessions to bring the world alive and immerse you in it. The party was mostly new players and he had the patience and skill to explain and help each one of us get set up. The campaign had everything, laughs, tears, emotional roller coasters and even a goblin side kick and was brought to life by Aidan's exceptional skills. It's clear he cares deeply for the game, but also the players enjoyment.

I've played a few D&D campaigns before but was new to Discworld, Aidan was knowledgeable about the universe, and he fostered creativity and roleplaying for the whole group. Super fun will be back!

Have played some D&D before, I am not a big player and new to Discworld but Aiden was able to bring the game to life. It was easy to follow, his characters were great and him impressions were even better! Was a very fun one shot and will definitely do another!

I'm new to TTRPGs, Aidan was brilliant and the Discworld system was really easy to understand.

I was new to D&D when I joined Aidan's campaign. He has always been kind and patient when the group had questions and were figuring out our roles. He is amazing at getting you immersed into the gameplay, he brings the campaign to life with his love of D&D and voices for characters.
