I got started GMing...

After our high school group's DM moved off to college and we needed someone to step up to replace them. I DM'd every other Sunday night for all of senior year and have been hooked ever since.

How Check runs games

I've always been a rule-of-cool game master interested in having fun over strict rules enforcement. While everyone likes "A mix of Roleplay and Combat", I would rather describe my campaigns as swashbuckling sword and sorcery adventures with a side of some monstrous horror! The joys of tabletop games are in their ability to bring fun new ideas to life and the stories they can create, so I'm always open to fun concepts to fit into the game in new ways. This includes inside and outside of combat! I try to keep most sessions with a good balance of exploration, tactical combat, and roleplay.

My games focus on...

Having fun and creating memorable experiences through gameplay.

Rules are...

there to define and bring life and realism to a role-playing environment. Failures and tragedies make for more compelling successes in the story and the rules help define how the world reacts to the player's actions.

Check's ideal table

My ideal table is a group of players ready to think creatively and ready to take bold action throughout story, action, and exploration. New players and veterans alike are welcome and encouraged to come up with fun new ways to use the game systems to solve the challenges, puzzles, or mysteries presented.

creative storytelling and big adventures

I think min/maxing...

all a part of the game, and as a DM I get excited to craft unique challenges and scenarios for those characters to overcome! I think that both flawed and 'perfect' characters can be unique and interesting and craft exciting stories with.
