About me
Hi! I'm a space engineer (recently graduated), a Minecraft programmer, a game night extravaganzist -- I love creativity to my very core. I have been playing DnD since high school and started DMing not long after. I'm always looking for novel ideas for sessions that will help new people get involved and breath new life into those who have played for a long time. I've found people always have their own unique ways of solving problems and I adore seeing that. Watching people become themselves is one of my favorite things (sort of goes with the Jesus-fan territory I find -- the whole loving people as they are so they can grow into their best selves). Hopefully I'll get to see you too!
GM Style
I'm always looking for novel ideas for sessions: From battleship where you're on the board with magical darkness on the other side and Atlanteans between you to something as simple as designing a boss room with variation in mind (potions to the side, wolves that can be set loose, people that can be persuaded... let players do stuff other than punch! Though of course punching is good too) My number 1 rule is follow the fun! What you find the most fun is what I build the world around. This oftentimes means a lot of Homebrewed content (which I have gotten quite good at, but standard DnD can be requested) -Narratives that help to explore and flesh our your character -Secrets that will be so obvious in hindsight -And battles with lots of options and suspense I try to make my players feel like there is always more they want to do so they can have fun exploring the world no matter where they go!
