About me

My name is Wade, a.k.a. the Battle Barrister, and I have been playing D&D on and off since the ancient times of the red Basic Set and AD&D 1st edition. I came back to the fold and started playing 5e regularly following a spinal cord injury, and have now come to enjoy life behind the DM screen. Over the past few years my interests have shifted to playing and running Pathfinder 2e. I find it to be an elegant system and enjoy teaching new players. I have recently become what I like to term a semi-pro GM and am making the transition from Roll20 to Foundry.

GM Style

Probably a terrible cliche, but I like a nice balance of role play and roll play. While certainly not a thespian, I try to inject personality into my role playing and bring the story to life as a group effort. I know many players, particularly new ones, are reluctant to speak up and I work to comfortably bring them out of their shells. I also believe the dice help tell a story, and riffing off unexpected results can lead to some of the most fun moments. Finally, I am exclusively running published adventures at this juncture, but I do tend to change things to help the game flow smoothly and work in elements of the players' backstories.
