About me

Hey, I’m Trent—a long-time GM, former chef, and music obsessive who believes the best games are the ones where everyone’s having fun and feeling heard. I run laid-back, story-forward sessions where character choices shape the world and the vibe is collaborative, not competitive. Whether we’re deep in political intrigue, unraveling cosmic horror, or just figuring out how the hell to get out of a cursed tavern, I’m here to help you live out the story you want to tell. I’ve been GMing for years, mostly in D&D 5e, but I also love Monster of the Week, Blades in the Dark, and other narrative-heavy systems. I cut my teeth on messy Powered by the Apocalypse campaigns, and I still bring that love of consequence and improvisation to every table I run. I’m comfortable running modules, homebrew worlds, or somewhere in between—depending on what players are looking for. When I’m not GMing, I’m probably playing disc golf, talking about emo bands from the 2010s, or rewatching The Blair Witch Project for the fiftieth time. I like games where things feel real, even when they get weird. If that sounds like your thing, let’s roll.

GM Style

I aim for a relaxed, player-first table where creativity, improvisation, and good vibes come first. I’m not here to railroad you — I love when players surprise me, make bold choices, or go off the rails. My sessions mix roleplay, exploration, and tactical combat, with plenty of room for character moments and emergent storytelling. I’m big on: Player agency — your decisions matter and shape the world Collaborative storytelling — I bring the setup, you bring the chaos A judgment-free table — beginner-friendly, LGBTQ+ safe, no gatekeeping Flexible tone — we can lean grimdark, whimsical, political, or just weird, depending on the group vibe Improvisation — I’ll prep what matters, but I’m never afraid to throw out the plan if it means a better story Whether you want to deep-dive into character drama, slay monsters, uncover old gods, or just vibe in a tavern for an hour, I’m down to make it memorable.

Trent is very friendly and welcoming, and he obviously has a lot of passion for the game. I'll definitely be playing with him again and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else.

A no-frills / no holds barred romp through the Citadel of the Lost Minotaur brought out a good few of the classic dungeon-crawling tropes that could be expected (and that's a GOOD thing ! lol): we almost split the party, met fun denizens then not-so-fun ones, and the session ended with a bang.... quite literally. In conclusion: Trent is a solid GM that will deliver. Join his table with your eyes closed, but bring in some torches !

I like him. He's mostly run modules with me, but they've been fun. He knows many systems.
