About me
I am a 40 year DM/GM/Storyteller Veteran. I love cinematic style, fast paced adventures! My specialty is genre-mashing, epic adventures, with tons of guest stars and easter eggs! I have a live play GI Joe RPG podcast, and I create content for GI Joe, Transformers, Aliens and a host of other games! I would love to start a game with you!
GM Style
My preference is fast paced, cinematic style play. I pivot well to strange player action or ideas and can incorporate all new branches in the player's path based on the things they/you do. I like other genre guest stars and easter eggs and my adventures are usually loaded with unusual sightings of strange beings. Let's try something!

Very patient, very fun GM. When I was having trouble with levelling up my Autobot, he set some time aside to assist me, which I'm grateful for.

I have been a player in Erik's The Energon Protocols game, and I can say there is never a dull moment. the twists and turns come at the right time with the perfect timing for those big cliffhangers between sessions that have you dying for the next game session to start. I can say I have sat at the table of many GM's and DM's and Erik is among the top I have sat at a table with. If you get a chance to jump into one of his games do so.

Great at going step by step with rules. A great story and an engaging world. I look forward to playing again with him.

Super amazing GMing! I love his style and the way he interacts with the game, even outside of the game.

Review on my first game with Erik: Wonderful! He is very knowledgeable about the setting and franchise. He created an engaging fun story that brought me the nostalgic feelings I love about the game, while also balancing our characters personalities and goals. It was a great game and I am excited to play more! He gave us a story that made us feel like we were apart of the epic tale of Transformers, while also having the autonomy of carving out our own story.

Erik was great! He did an amazing job keeping the group on task for an original Transformers One-Shot he made for a full group of new players. He was able to easily communicate the rules and answers to everyone's questions. His storytelling was on point letting us complete the goal while leaving the ending open for players who wish to return. I'd highly recommend playing with Erik.
