About me

"I have created and destroyed entire universes... Just. For. You." --Badger I've been playing D&D and RPG's for over 40 years, most of that time has been spent as a GM. If there has been an RPG made in the last half century, then I've probably played it or GM'd for it. I've ran both casual games and tournaments at various conventions throughout the southwest. My table is open to anyone regardless of gender, culture or race and as a LGBTQ+ ally I provide an open and inviting table for all who wish to play. I run all types of games and entertain to my players and what they want, but you will find a very good mix of RP, combat and puzzles. I will always work with the players to find out their needs so that everyone gets the most out of playing.. including me! All that said, I love playing RPG's, I love roleplaying and I love creating a living story with the players around me. See you from behind the screen!!

GM Style

My normal GM style is about 50/50 on combat and role play, with some puzzles sprinkled in for good measure. I also LOVE a good story that the players participate in and help create, I mean, that is what its all about, right? That being said, I believe a GM needs to be versatile and read the players and what they want/need. I can run a game that is as munchkin and crunchy as anyone would want, or I can spend whole sessions just roleplaying with the characters. Usually, when I set up a game I will say in the intro what type of game it's going to be, giving a percentage of what the campaign or game is going to have in terms of combat and roleplaying.
