About me

Hello, my name is Charles and I bring oldschool sensibilities to modern systems! My first gaming books were the black-cover AD&D 2e reprints, and the pictures within hooked me without remorse. Since then I've journeyed far and wide, and explored countless systems only to find myself right back at D&D. Today I offer several interpretations of the original games, where the classic essence meets a modern presence! I will provide an adaptable experience to what you and your group want and need! šŸŽ™ļø Radio voice actor, ready to bring characters to life in the game! šŸ§™ā€ā™‚ļø Decades of experience, including both play-by-post and live games, covering a wide spectrum of play-styles. šŸ”ļø Brings real-life adventure experience into my games for an immersive narrative.
