About me

A writer, poet, and anthropologist, I love to introduce new players to the fantastical worlds I grew up in and love even more building new worlds with players of all experience levels (including no experience!) DMing is a passion of mine, something I am always striving to improve at: the physical world around me is littered with sourcebooks, notebooks, guides, print-outs, Post-Its, dice, half-painted miniatures, and other paraphernalia related to this incredible hobby. All of my games are LGBTQIA2S+ friendly, and my tables are safe spaces where everyone is welcome, so long as they believe that everyone is welcome.

GM Style

I love nothing more than to sit down and have a fun time alongside my players. At my table, there will be jokes, above-table talk, lots of laughter, some terrible voice acting attempts (just wait till you hear my Zordon voice!), and more, all driven by my personal desire to make sure my players have a wonderful time.

Gerald is an awesome guy overall. Super inclusive and really chill to talk to. Me and my friends were complete newbies to DND when we first started and we’re loving it so far!

I had a great time during my first session with Gerald. He creates a fun, inclusive, and safe environment for new players like myself. Looking forward to future sessions!

Gerald was extremely helpful and so willing to spend time helping me create my character for the campaign. He creates a great space among those gathered for the campaign, and there is a general sense of support and camaraderie for each other. This is my first game on StartPlaying, and I've only played D&D a few times. He was sensitive to beginners (and even shared he loves to introduce new players to the game). Highly recommend!

Gerald is an engaging a welcoming GM who not only delivers great games but also takes the time to explain gameplay mechanics and rules. If you are just starting to roleplay, learning a new game, or just want to enjoy a good game, Gerald's the GM for you.

I love playing with Gerald he makes me feel welcome in every game i play. It is always fun to push him and see him break with the chaos we put him thought. He has fun games rather it is power ranger DND or even now Star Trek there is no better Dm i can recommend for those that want to have a fun story and the freedom that you should have when you want to create a fun backstory. He never shuts you down but will always work with you which is what i believe so many Dms are missing now adays

Gerald is a great DM. He helped me quickly join a new group and walked me through getting connected on an unfamiliar platform. No problem at all. He provided me a pre-made character that I totally loved...very imaginative. Had a GREAT time playing with a party of complete strangers. Will join his parties again.
