About me

Hey All! Thanks for checking out my profile. Where to start? I’ve been gaming for most of my boomer life. Just under 30 years. Oof! I started DM’ing right away having an affinity for storytelling from an early age as I made up stories to entertain my family on long drives about people or places we’d pass by. I cut my teeth on Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while flirting with D&D box sets which were even before my time! Yet, I’ve managed to play every version of D&D while somehow avoiding Pathfinder. Plus all sorts of different games like Shadowrun to MERP. Dresden Files FATE to FFG’s Rogue Trader. I enjoyed Space Yaztee aka West End Star Wars and ran Star Wars hack set in the Mandalorian era last year using Scum & Villainy. Fun fact about me; I met my wife playing Amber diceless. My favorite game’s Vampire the Masquerade having larped for years before I ever played table top, and now I’ve ran LA by Night five times. I’ve also ran New York and Bordeaux by Night. Plus, Dozens of one shots, half completed campaigns, and old school Elysium games where you play 500+ year old vampires. But enough about me, Let’s game and get a group together! Happy to run all sorts of games or I could ST any game I’m presently running on Startplaying during any free time below. Please feel free to drop me a line with any questions about my games, timing, or booking as we could work out playing in other system or possible one-shots to feel out an unknown game. Easy layups for me; Blades in the Dark - make a criminal crew in a cosmic horror whalepunk setting Vampire the Masquerade v5 - any playbook like Chicago by Night or custom campaign Scum and Villainy - space opera hijinks on a scoundrel starship Wicked Ones - Rp as monsters running your own dungeon Rogue Trader - very homebrewed FFG system as you plunder the Koronus Expanse Star Wars - any era or system expect d20 (sorry!) Paranoia - Humor based rpg in a sci fi dystopia inspired by old Lucas film THX1138 GMT +2 // Monday - Thursday 2-11pm // Fri & Sat 2pm- 2am // Sunday 10am-12am It’s your story! I’m just helping you bring it to life. :)

GM Style

Roleplaying styles vary soo much and I think this site encourages a more inclusive table which I plan on showing others my style and hopefully that vibes. That said, I leans towards Thespian gaming in almost any system. Some lend better to drama roleplaying than others but I prefer people speaking in character for example. Characters making bad or poor choices depending on how their character thinks, feels, or might view a situation. Different points of view. That's where some great stories happen. Born of tragedy and miscommunication. Information will sometimes be telephone as I tell a PC what they discovered and then everyone else acts on whatever info their given by said character. And not always but its how truth become mailable. I don't care for what I call shenanigans gaming. I think most people know what I mean when I say this but to be clear; Its when a gamer does things because they have free agency in a game mostly for their own amusement. Gamers using powers cause they have them and see what happens. They engage in PVP in games where its not appropriate and than ruthless when they can.
