About me

AKA AJ Black on the interwebs! I've been a gamer for years, and tabletops were just a natural evolution of that. My first memory of playing was a Star Wars adventure with my brother and uncle, and I've been hooked ever since. It was only a matter of time until I got the itch to host games, and the catalyst for it was my partner, who'd never played tables before but was interested. I gathered a group of friends around us, and I never looked back. 8 games, 4 years, and a lot of lessons later, here we are. I am still growing, and I'll be the first to admit that, but my focus is on ensuring my players have a great time to forget about life's problems for a few hours. I specialize in Star Wars games, but have branched out recently into a few different things, including the new Marvel game that released last year, and Dr. Who. When you play with me, you get a DM who's just as excited for every session as (hopefully) their players are! You also get someone who's laid back and follows the rule of cool more often than not. I play my games almost exclusively through Discord, mostly afternoons/evenings, and we use theatre of the mind, though if the situation calls for it I will discuss other options. The only thing I ask is that if we set up a time to meet, please keep me appraised of what's going on. I understand that sometimes life happens, and I will work with you, but I can't do anything if I don't know about it. Let me know ASAP if you need to drop or skip a session, and I will accommodate you to the best of my ability.

GM Style

My style is definitely "sandbox"- there's a lot of roleplay, some combat, but mostly just player driven stories. My players decide what happens, even if that means throwing the adventure out the window in favor of a new one. I'm a theatre of the mind player, so there's a lot of description (or GIFs), and I don't force people to do all the icky math- there's a lot of common sense stylings and less number crunching. No carry limits, no rations keeping, no ammo packs...just as long as you don't try to do something crazy (an average human smashing through a brick wall, or that same human carrying 500 broadswords) and keep to what's reasonably possible. I'm doing my best when it comes to voice acting, but I've been told they all sound the same eventually, so there's that.
