About me
I’m a seasoned player and GM and have been playing tabletop games for over 25 years. While RPGs are my favorite, I also enjoy playing board games, video games, non-CCGs / LCGs, and occasionally some non-historical miniatures games. I'm a big fan of the Black Library and Warhammer 40K lore! Whether I'm sitting as a player or GM, I relish the time at the table with friends and also to meet new people and try new things. Hope to see you at the table - game on!
GM Style
I'm pretty easy-going and prefer to work with players to tailor the play style to the group. Having run a good number of organized play games & one-shots, where you don't always have the same players - I've had to adapt to many different play styles and am open to feedback. I'm here for the players and will always do what I can to find the right balance of role playing, dice-rolling, and 'shenanigans' to cater to the players. I'm certainly no shoo-in for Critical Role, but (I think) I'm pretty good at adding some charisma to the NPCs in a game and spinning a good story. While I believe that the rules are what define the game and will always do my best to stay true to RAW, I believe above all else that player fun is most important and won't let the rules get in the way of that.

Looking for an adventure to test the limits of your creativity and ingenuity? Mario runs a game that inspires fun while challenging you from the exasperation of near death experiences to the exhilaration of victory. I play weekly with Mario and always wonder what he will dream up next. His characters and settings really come to life. I whole heartedly recommend Mario as a GM and as a fellow adventurer.

He is super knowledgeable about multiple game systems, easy going, and always prioritizes player fun in his approach.

Mario managed to teach me an entirely new system in just few sessions. He certainly knows all the games he runs well and makes playing RPG's of any kind intriguing and thrilling.
Caleb Pridgen
I played in a couple of Mario’s games, one was a pathfinder 2e game. He did a great job especially since I had only played DnD 5e before he was very knowledgeable about the rules and was able to explain the differences while ensuring a smooth game 10/10 would recommend
Timoth
Mario is a great DM, always ready to go and experienced enough to exude confidence. Definitely a team player working with players and trying to maximize fun. I would definitely recommend Mario for new and old players alike and would for sure say that he can be trusted to be effective DM in any game system.
