About Alex

I 've always loved TTRPGs - and count myself lucky to have discovered D&D back in 1977. I have played and GMed throughout the years. With my current favorites being Pathfinder 1e, Pathfinder 2e, Castles & Crusades, Mutants & Masterminds 3e, The Dark Eye, and Call of Cthulhu 7e (Pulp Cthulhu). I love immersing players in exciting worlds and adventures where they can all share in the fun while telling great stories.

I became a GM because

I love to teach and create fun worlds for players.

I got started GMing...

I started playing Original D&D in 1977, and started GMing in 1978 with the Holmes Basic D&D rules and then moved to AD&D 1e.

My favorite system of all Time is

These are my favorites: D&D 1e Jamed Bond RPG (1984) Chill 1e (1984) Castles & Crusades is my AD&D 1e replacement. And Pulp Cthulhu is my Chill 1e replacement. Never found anything to replace the JB RPG in terms of espionage games -- although Top Secret was really good.

How Alex runs games

I like running combat that’s both fun and challenging. Building worlds that feel alive and using visuals aids and lots of detail to make it very immersive. The most important thing IMO is that the players have a really good time. A big part of this is actually listening to them and learning what they like and enjoy and using that to make them feel more interested and connected to the campaign.
