About me
My journey into tabletop gaming began in 7th grade when I finally convinced a group of 8th graders to let me join their lunchtime D&D 3.5 sessions in the library. That first game was unforgettable—not because it went smoothly, but because I was left to fend for myself building a wizard who turned out to be hilariously ineffective. Despite the challenges, it sparked a deep passion for the game that’s never faded. I dabbled in a few games throughout high school but took a break until I discovered D&D 5th Edition three years ago. Since then, I’ve fully embraced the role of Dungeon Master, running a home game for the past five years and participating in a DM rotation on a Discord server for two years. Now, I’m eager to help more people discover the magic of tabletop RPGs and create a welcoming, safe space for new players to explore their imaginations—avoiding the pitfalls of chaotic first experiences like mine. While Dungeons & Dragons is my specialty, I’m always excited to dive into new gaming systems and expand my horizons.
GM Style
I specialize in running narrative-driven games where your actions truly matter. Every choice has consequences, and the ripples of those decisions can shape the world in unexpected ways. Whether it’s forging alliances, uncovering ancient secrets, or making tough moral calls, the story evolves based on what you do, creating a deeply immersive experience. I aim to balance the three core pillars of D&D—social interaction, combat, and exploration—so there’s always a mix of intrigue, excitement, and discovery. That said, I believe each group is unique, so I dedicate time during session zero to discuss everyone’s preferences. If your party craves more swashbuckling battles, deep roleplay, or intricate puzzles, I’ll adapt to make sure the game suits your style. I also believe that stakes make stories memorable. There’s a real chance of failure in my games, and I tend to follow the rules more closely as a default to keep things fair and challenging. But I’m no tyrant! If your group thrives on lighthearted moments or a bit of whimsy, I’m more than happy to sprinkle in some magic and mischief to keep things fun and dynamic. Whether you’re looking for intense drama, epic adventure, or moments of heartfelt humor, my goal is to create a collaborative and unforgettable experience tailored to your group. Let's build a story together that you'll be talking about long after the final roll of the dice!
