About me
Welcome, Adventurers! I’m Sam, I’ve been a fan of fantasy for as long as I can remember and have been running RPGs for friends since the age of 12. I love creating worlds full of lore and mystery for players to uncover. Blending immersion, exploration and a little bit of chaos into every session. With a focus on character choices and interaction, my worlds grow around the players and their arcs, making every choice meaningful. I thrive at hosting custom-made adventures or campaigns, often incorporating unique enemies and homebrew elements. Colourful NPCs, entangling mystery, breathtaking locations and multiple storylines for players to explore. For over a decade now I've set almost every game I run in an ever evolving homebrew world. Developing epic histories and legends around the choices of my players. I encourage players to collaborate and add to our lore with their character backstories so they truly feel a part of the wider world. I tend to run intense, character-driven RPGs, with the genre varying from comedy to action-adventure to horror. Weaving together characters' backstories to keep your heroes in the spotlight. I love adapting to players on the spot, maintaining a sandbox approach and embracing the swings between silly moments and serious roleplay. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, I’m here to guide you on your next adventure!
GM Style
My games tend to centre on deep Roleplay, exploration and unraveling mysteries. Combats are often fast paced with a touch of grimdark; Think Elden Ring meets Darkest Dungeon. Not seeing the system or adventure you love? Just ask! I’m always open to new worlds adventures and modules if requested. Whether you're looking for a dark fantasy and gritty realism, or would rather take a slower pace comfortably tending a farm or tavern, I am happy to make the game that fits you! I love designing custom maps, props and handouts to help immerse you into the story. I’m also available between sessions to help with character sheet updates, leveling, or just chatting lore. I always do check-ins with players, see how everyone is enjoying the session, what they want to explore and how they want their characters to grow with the world. When the game allows it, I lean into the rule of cool over strict mechanics, prioritizing roleplay, creativity, and epic moments. Your characters and stories are the heart of the game—my goal is to help you shine in your story. My games can explore intense themes, making sure everyone is enjoying themselves and feeling safe is a huge priority. At my tables we talk about triggers and consent ahead of time Certain choices will always have consequences, but as the Game Master, I am your biggest fan. I am invested in your success and strive to create a cooperative environment where victory is a shared experience.
