About me

My superpower is storytelling, and I'm passionate about collaborating with friends to build slightly homebrewed open-world games with a strong narrative through points. This isn't just a hobby for me, it's a love and a craft that I'm eager to share with like-minded players. I believe that RP moments should impact the story as much as any BBEG combat encounter; I am generous with inspiration tokens and loot drops, and I am a deadly opponent in combat when the moment calls for it. I lean heavily into the RULE-OF-COOL and encourage players to try wild new ideas as we let the dice tell the story. Some of my favorite things are watching my players find a new way to use an established spell or ability to solve a puzzel / survive a battle, working with players to integrate their backstory into the main quest, and seeing them survive the meat grinder on their way to leveling up and character growth. I'm not just looking for players, I'm looking to build a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for TTRPG storytelling. I hope you will join the games and make amazing friends as we battle, grow, laugh and roll through this brave new world together.

GM Style

We are telling this story together! I strongly prefer a collaborative storytelling experience balanced by crunchy combat, open-world exploration, and character growth through RP. We are here to have fun and tell a story together, not get super bogged down by rules as written. Surprise me! - I highly encourage hijinks, but you will have to roll for it. - Rolling initiative does not always mean you have to fight, and fighting isn't the only solution to all problems ... unless you want it to be. - If your Monk is five feet short on movement but wants to try some wild acrobatics to bridge the gap, let's roll for it! - Does your necromancer want to swap the Fireball damage to necrotic and name it something more emo for flavor? That sounds RAD; let's do it! - Want to use a spell in a funky new way? Roll Arcana! (Just don't fail...) Don't get me wrong, my baddies will try to squash/trick/rob you at every turn, but as a DM, I am always rooting for you to survive/escape by the skin of your knuckles. Finally, you will control your fate and roll your Death Saves and all ability checks. Some DMs like to hide or control that, not me, I want the players to have all the agency in my games. While I might still whisper some stuff behind the screen, all dramatic critical moments will be rolled "in front of the screen," so to speak, for all to see.
