About me
Hi! I'm an experienced GM with 4 years of running games under my belt, primarily in Dungeons & Dragons. I’m especially passionate about the roleplay aspect—I love helping players bring their characters to life and watching meaningful relationships and stories unfold at the table. I’ve run a variety of campaigns, from homebrew adventures to official modules, and I enjoy tailoring the world and NPCs to reflect the choices my players make. Whether it’s an intense political drama, a lighthearted romp through a fantasy kingdom, or something in between, I try to create a collaborative space where everyone feels invested and excited. As a player, I gravitate toward characters with rich backstories and emotional arcs. As a GM, I focus on creating immersive worlds, engaging roleplay, and player-driven narratives. Looking forward to connecting with other storytellers and players who love character depth and immersive storytelling as much as I do!
GM Style
In my games, story and character come first. I’m a GM who thrives on rich roleplay, emotionally grounded characters, and the drama that comes from tough choices and personal stakes. If you love getting into character, building relationships, and watching your backstory ripple into the present, you’ll feel right at home. I design my sessions around player agency—your decisions shape the world, and NPCs will remember how you treat them (for better or worse). Expect dynamic social encounters, moral dilemmas, and plenty of opportunities to make your mark on the story. Combat in my games is tactical and meaningful, but not constant. When a fight breaks out, it’s usually because something big is at stake—whether that’s someone’s life, reputation, or the future of a region. I enjoy balancing strategy with narrative impact, so each battle feels like a natural extension of the story, not just a mechanical break. You can expect: Deep roleplay and character arcs Reactive storytelling where the world changes around your choices Immersive NPCs with their own motives and flaws Combat that counts, with creative encounter design A collaborative and inclusive table—all player backgrounds and playstyles welcome If you're looking for a campaign that blends narrative depth with dramatic tension, I'm excited to help bring your character’s journey to life.
