About me

I started DMing as a way to express my creative side and put my knack for writing to use. My adventures vary a lot in terms of roleplay and combat balance, I'm always trying to strike the right balance for the players at my table. I hold myself personally responsible for the fun of every player at my table. It means everything to me that a player recalls our campaigns with nothing but nostalgia and fondness.

GM Style

People say "jack of all trades, master of none", but I don't believe in that. You can be a veritable master of roleplay, combat, writing, lore, and all the other things that encompass the wholeness of a good ttrp session. If I had to truly specialize in anything, it would be personalization; my campaigns are molded around my players as they play them. I promise that you will enjoy each session more than the last.

He does a good job getting everyone in the mood

He's a well-rounded early-career GM. I would call him a "lawful good" style game master. He sticks generally to rules as written, but will go outside of them to reward player creativity. Solid improv skills and does a good bit of prep work. Strikes a good balance between combat and roleplay. Definitely a good GM for new players, highly recommend.

He puts in a lot of effort and cares about both the game and the players. He is very patient and is open about his thought process. He's just a nice guy that is very knowledgeable. 10/10 would play with again

Probably the best thing about this DM is they're willing to work with folks on most things rather than just flat out saying no to ideas unless the campaign very specifically won't work with them.

He was super fun! He gave all of the characters in the world great voices and personality, and was overall great with handling the story and situations. Even when the players did something funky, he was prepared for it. All the sessions I've been in with him as dm have gone over super smoothly. I definitely recommend him!!
