About me
I’m a worldbuilder and game designer running unforgettable tabletop sessions using my own original systems: Shatterspine, Throne of the Fivefold Wyrm, Mages & Zombies: Winter Is Here!, and Eccentric Shopkeeper RPG. My games deliver rich story, atmospheric tension, and tactical drama — perfect for newcomers and veterans alike who crave something beyond standard D&D. What I bring: Co-op, solo, or group storytelling, often chaotic yet well-structured Clear narration and immersive scene setting AI-assisted or fully narrated campaigns for a smooth experience Custom mechanics, legacy trackers, and eerie worldbuilding Every game includes a Session Zero, onboarding support, and printable takeaways. I’ll guide you through brutal fun.
GM Style
I run surreal horror (Shatterspine), light comedic dark fantasy (Mages & Zombies), and heavy tactical dark fantasy (Throne of the Fivefold Wyrm). Expect: Intense but fair tactical combat Player-driven story arcs with meaningful choices Whispers of betrayal and hidden secrets for dramatic tension AI to handle mechanics so you focus on choices and character
