About me

Like most, I caught the gaming bug at an early age and never lost it. Got involved with AD&D and Superhero games like Villains and Vigilantes, Marvel, Champions, etc. Got into Star Wars D6 and just enjoyed what gaming had to offer. Decades later still loving it and want to explore it in this space.

GM Style

The main reason I love TTRPGs is the symbiotic relationship between GM & Players. I believe a game is at its best when players and GM collaborate towards a fun & entertaining shared experience; one in which the GM should lose as dramatically as possible. Well before Game of Thrones, I was dialed into my own weekly installment of drama through the various subsystems of TTRPGs, which are too many to mention. Needless to say I was up for anything, being a fan of the cinematic.

I have been gaming for over 40 years, and I can say with confidence that this GM prepares more than anyone I've ever played with. You can be assured that when you sit down for a session, he will have planned it out well in advance to ensure a smooth game. That is not to say that he is not creative; he can roll with whatever his players throw at him and make it work. Without a doubt, the best GM I've had the pleasure of playing with.

Knowledgeable GM with 40 years of story building in a ton of different games, and alot of time in Pathfinder 1E rules. He recently ran my party through Giantslayer, and we had a great time... 5/5.
