About me

I am a longtime TTRPG GM that loves D&D & GURPS, with a large library of books, art assets, and time to share with my players, it is my favorite thing to do. I am a huge fan of roleplay and often modify mechanics to benefit storytelling & session fluidity. I use Foundry VTT, which is free to my players, and includes vast customization options for every campaign & every participant. Please take a look at this Google Sheet for all of my GURPS games: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIi-Yp_5L2k4LvJ_L-YxgZ_YF7QIsZr4h0PIoit8fKM/edit?usp=sharing

GM Style

My GMing Style is more Theater of the Mind-orientated, with an emphasis on dynamic dialogue and adapting challenges, rather than mechanically sound or combat heavy. Don't get me wrong, I love a good combat scene, but I also despise the traditional "robot" that enemies take on in TTRPGs. I like to make enemies talk, roll to engineer advantages or simply run away once it becomes clear their side cannot win. It is all about making a believable world, one where a mortal reason can be found, and heroes don't always get happy endings.
