About me

I am a lifelong DM that started gaming when I was 11 during the heady days of AD&D (Redbox), Star Frontiers, Traveller, Champions and more. I have run games for NYT Bestselling authors in Science Fiction/Fantasy, Thrillers with a focus on story and enjoyment. I can say that I once ran an underground non-partisan D&D campaign during a presidential political campaign. I am open to all players, calling, creeds and together we will craft an amazing story that will delight all.

I am an experiential DM.

I've had a lot of fun and have certainly learned a lot from playing games where Alex has been the GM. What stands out to me is how Alex is very intuitive when it comes to deciding who has floor time and gives everyone an equal opportunity to shape the story. I like how he has perfectly balanced our current game to focus more on the story without stripping too much of the game mechanics. Entertaining stories that are challenging as he knows how to sprinkle them just right between subtle contextual clues where you must ask the right questions and inevitable plot twists. Highly Recommended for players of all skill levels.

Alexi is a masterful storyteller. We were kept guessing the entire time. We had to think our way out of situations as often as we had to do battle--I kid you not, I bought a mini white board to keep up with the clues! The game play was always fun and innovative and we always looked forward to game night.
