About me

I have been playing Tabletop games since 2005. I started on D&D 3.5 and fell in love with it and Cyberpunk 2020. Heroic and pulp action adventures that left lasting memories and worlds built with people who quickly became life long friends is what brought me to (and keeps me at) the table. So you know a little about the person rather then just my experience. I am 36, work in IT and have been happily married for 8 years. My wife and I have one daughter and a very large dog. When I am not fighting dragons, I can be found playing disc golf or going on some adventure with the family.

GM Style

If you are a veteran or a beginner or somewhere in between you are welcome at my table. My games tend to have a mix of RP and Combat tied to them and I always like to work with the players to find the best story to tell. I use Fantasy grounds to run games and use discord for voice (video not required). I am willing to teach in and out of the game. At my table, I want everyone to feel welcome. I will exhibit respect to all my players and expect the same respect given back to me and to the others you are gaming with. Rules for moderation will be handled game by game to make sure that everyone is comfortable and having fun both in and out of the game.

The Wayward DM/Chefboyardy is a great DM. He engages with players in terms of their backstory and will incorporate those elements into his game. He comes up with interesting NPCs, uses great maps, and knows Fantasy Grounds Unity like the back of his hand. He's incredibly patient and will teach players the system and platform. He's researched the Eberron setting and knows the rules of DND 5e fairly well. And he allows for the rule of cool, within the proper 5e rules of course.

Keith is a great GM. He is willing to work with you to ensure your character develops the way you envision, and to ensure your character is fun to play. I always enjoy his games.

I enjoyed the opportunity to create a unique character with an unusual background that will be fun to play in future sessions. The DM did an excellent job guiding the newer players through the technical aspects of Fantasy Grounds Unity.

I've played many games with this GM and would not hesitate to jump in if given the opportunity. One of the best I've ever played with in my 25+ years of role-playing.

Keith has vast and experience with DnD and other fantasy tabletops. He makes interesting and unique stories. Is able to adapt to off the rail antics as well as new pathways. He is open, yet keeps everything in line when it is needed. Very friendly and feeds off of creativity and input. 11/10

The environment that he created was very interesting and engaging. There were lots of fun and interesting situations that we got ourselves into. He was there to answer any questions we had.
