About Alex
I'm Alex (he/him) and I've always enjoyed stories, in particular telling stories. I started playing Dungeons and Dragons around 10 years ago and although I really liked the game I can say the moment I truly fell in love with it was when I first decided to be a GM. Being able to tell the collective stories born out of the minds of my players is one of the things I enjoy the most. I tend to favour horror stories but also like the ocasional light hearted high fantasy adventure. I have my own offline group I run games with but I also want to run games online on a more regular basis and spend more time doing what I truly love.

I became a GM because
I love collaborative story telling. It gives me great joy to enable players to tell their stories and allow me to bring those stories into my worlds. I also really enjoy seeing new players fall in love with the hobby and be able to help them through the often scary first steps.
How Alex runs games
As a GM I try to make sure everyone feels comfortable at the table and encourage everyone to have a voice. I like a balance between role play, combat and problem solving. I try doing the odd NPC voice here and then and enjoy trying to immerse the players in the world they characters live in.
Alex's ideal table
My table is usual filled with players that love playing as a team and share the spotlight with others. I like players that get invested in their characters and the world. I also don't mind a small amount of meta gaming, especially with new players, although I prefer that players with experience act more as part of the game context and their characters in the moment than meta gaming. I welcome players from any background and experience level as long as they are happy to work as a team and help our table be a fun and safe space for all.
