About me

Non-Binary, Neurodiverse, Leftist I just like roleplaying a lot, and the GM chair is as comfortable for me as any other

GM Style

I aim to give players opportunities for both dramatic catharsis and light-hearted escapades. I like to be a fan of the characters and help them shine, but also like to challenge them to find how they do under pressure. • Versed in many game systems • Experienced in homebrewing for my and players' benefit • Used to playing with strangers • Can do play-by-post as a supplement to live play

Just wanted to say thanks to Mars for being such a great GM! I'm really loving our Blades in the Dark sessions—only three sessions in, and I'm already hooked. I especially appreciate how patient they are, always taking time to explain things clearly. They've made it super easy for me to get into the game and feel comfortable at the table. Excited for the next session!

Mars is a ton of fun and a great GM! Their MÖRK BORG enthusiasm and descriptions brought everything to life and our group thoroughly enjoyed the brutality! So many laughs! So much blood! Mars is well-paced and quite eloquent, would highly recommend!

Mars is great at maintaining a welcoming and fun table while calculating the perfect amount of tension and stakes to encourage big player swings, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats throughout the game!

Very enjoyable game. Very creative and makes the game fun to play. Great for newcomers. Their enthusiasm is infectious and I honestly can say that our weekly game is one I look forward to most to see what crazy things that we will do next.

I was able to play in Mars' Blades in the Dark game. As a newbie to the system, I appreciated the time Mars took to guide me through the game so that I felt comfortable and welcome at the table. Mars brought great ideas to the table and also asked for player input including building around player wishes for in-game scenarios. Would definitely recommend Mars as a GM and would return as a player.
