About Blaze

My adventure as a Game Master began in middle school, when my buddy Johnathan showed up to Mr. Munns class with the ever classic red box. He was trying to explain it all during class. I didnt quite understand but holy cow was I ready to. I was captivated, and over the next months and years my interest grew and so did my collection. All throughout my teens and early twenties, I played off and on. We tried all sorts of boxed sets and settings like Conan, Agent 13, some pirate one i dont remember the name of, Indiana Jones, Marvel, etc. All sorts of adventures from magazines. Ahhhh, the days. Life took over for a while then my kids were talking about it just before 5e came out and we started looking at getting back in. So we picked up a 4e starter set that was VERY misleading as it was just like the old red box but very different haha. From there we went back to 2e then jumped into 5e where i spend most of my time now. I spend tons of hours, dozens to hundreds at times, writing and prepping adventures to ensure the details are vivid, the encounters are engaging, and the experience is truly epic. I host live and virtual scenarios for groups or companies that teach creative thinking and team work often changing the overall dynamics of the group or business. I frequently run one-shots and short campaigns lasting under five or ten sessions, offering fast-paced excitement ideal for newcomers or those with busy schedules. However, I am hoping that a group comes together and loves playing together enough that we can run a couple of campaigns so we can really deep dive into our story and characters.

I got started GMing...

because I was enamored with the game and couldnt get enough play time as a player so took on the role of Dungeon Master

My favorite books are

I love flipping through old Dragon and/or Dungeon magazines and finding old adventures to bring to 5e. They just seem to have a different flair.

When I'm not running games I'm...

watching someone else run one, talk about one, or give tips on how to run one better

How Blaze runs games

My style has a strong emphasis on immersive roleplay, intricate puzzles, and daring traps along with strategic and sometimes complex combat encounters. I try to balance the table out according to the players. Give them the opportunity to embody their characters, think outside the box, and prepare to slay some stuff. I value player input and adapt my sessions to accommodate personal play styles to make sure everyone has an awesome game. I'm always looking for ways to give players the opportunity for individual character development as well as group collaboration. My goal is for every player to leave each session feeling challenged, entertained, and invested in the story and their characters’ growth and sad its so long until the next game.

Rules are...

there to give us a direction to head but not to cramp our lives. Lets have a freakin blast. Embark on some monumental adventures, and make some crazy memories that last!

Blaze's ideal table

All players fit well at my table as Im highly adaptable. I try to run games based on the average of personalities at the table. My personality is upbeat. Im very energetic, always using voices or sounds, sometimes loud, okay, usually loud, and can have a rather foul mouth at times. Again depends on the table. I have settings that call to me more than others but I enjoy running any sort of theme the group wants.
