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! šļø Radio voice actor, ready to bring characters to life in the game! š§āāļø Decades of experience, including both play-by-post and live games, covering a wide spectrum of play-styles. šļø Brings real-life adventure experience into my games for an immersive narrative.
