About me

Hello! I've been running Dungeons and Dragons for 28 years, since I first hauled my dad's AD&D books out of the basement to try it out with my friends. Over that time, I've tried a variety of systems and play styles, as well as began making home brew content for both my own and other GM-friends' games. One of my favorite things to do is adapt popular fantasy and sci-fi anime, book, and movie universes for use in tabletop games. I have written treatments for Sailor Moon, Homestuck, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the Hunger Games, Twisted Wonderland, Solo Leveling, and many more! If you and your friends are interested in playing in a game based on a popular work, reach out! I'd love to work out something custom to give you the fan experience of your dreams.

GM Style

I am a roleplay-first GM, preferring to run games that center the player characters and their personal goals in a living world going through a crisis. While combat is still an important part of the game, and it absolutely will happen, it may not be as often as a more combat-focused game would have. When combat occurs, however, I make sure the player characters have more motivation to fight than "These creatures are in our path." I have no problem running any type of personal narrative; romance, family drama, found family, a search for meaning in the mundane, all of these and more have a place at my table. I like to use Session 0 to help focus on what characters will be joining the game. That knowledge helps me build a world that can engage directly with the narratives the players want to tell, too.
