About me
I am a player and Game Master with nearly 4 decades of experience. I value story above all, but am not against an exciting combat! I am also the primary GM of the "Knights of the Smith Dinner Table" Actual Play group!
GM Style
I am a GM who values role-playing over roll playing. I enjoy the theatrical, and story is my biggest love. That being said, I am not afraid of character death, as most of the time, it helps to move the story forward. And, what good is adventuring if there is no chance of a heroic death?

I played in James' games for about two years, and had a great time. He's a good guy in general, always makes the quests a challenge. His CG map designs were also very well-done, and helped bring the fantasy world to life. I particularly enjoyed his Deadlands games, both because I like that setting, and because I think he did a particularly good job of making old western NPCs unique and entertaining.
