About me

Hello! I'm Brent, I'm located in the Pacific NW United States, and I would be honored to be your new GM. I've been playing TTRPGs for 10 years now (mainly D&D) and GMing for a few years. I've ran Dungeons and Dragons 5e, The One Ring 2e, the Alien RPG 1e, Monster of the Week, Mork Borg, Blood on the Lens, and most recently Dragonbane. In the future I'd love to run Coriolis, Root, and Symbaroum/Ruins of Symbaroum. I'm also open to any other kinds of TTRPGs! LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly. I've only got two rules: be kind, and have fun!

GM Style

Roleplay and combat lover! My variety of characters voices may not be huge, but they are memorable. I do have a degree in theatre and this may be the only time I get to use it, so please be gentle. I'm a flexible GM and can run whatever kind of game you want. Dark and gritty? Light and whimsical? Rules heavy? Rules light? Whatever kind of game you prefer, I can make it work!

It's a Christmas Miracle! Had a great session of Dragonbane (one of many with Brent). Highly recommend his games and Dragonbane in particular

Had a great session 0 for a new campaign, where we had a pretty great start! It actually went horribly for my character -- and it was awesome! Really greatly narrated with a lot of work put into the foundry side of things. Recommended in general, but especially for beginners or people looking for a pretty engaging experience, I highly recommend Brent.

Brent does a nice job of setting the mood, NPC/character interaction, and pulling no punches. Consistent & understands the rules well.

After having played a few sessions with Brent, I would say he is exceptionally gifted in his ability to run a TTRPG. You can tell he has put a lot of thought into the products, the stories, the characters, and is able to be quite flexible when the party surprises him. On top of that, you can see in how he runs games that he loves to GM and is quite passionate about it. One of the most polished, comfortable, friendly, and confident GM's I've played with. 10/10.

Had an incredible session zero with Brent. He made everyone feel comfortable and instantly integrated in his story, I'm very excited for the future of the campaign.
