About me

I've played TTRPGs since Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1e, with experience playing and GMing D&D5e, WFRP4e and Shadowdark RPG. I currently run games online and in-person for local charities and at my FLGS. I'm a business change programme manager, postgraduate teacher and professional coach with a particular interest in neurodivergence, disabilities and LGBTQ+ communities. There's a huge crossover there, with worldbuilding and shared storytelling playing a part in developing people, as well as coaching and teaching techniques playing a part in running TTRPGs. I enjoy the shared experience at the table, everyone playing a part in building the story, and supporting one another in developing their characters. I also really enjoy introducing people to TTRPGs, D&D in particular. Seeing someone over the course of a session relax, engage with their character and the world we build is an absolute joy. I use WorldAnvil to support my GMing, as a tool to share the journey, and respond to events in each session, giving me hooks to use later in a campaign.

GM Style

We play TTRPGs to have fun, spend time with others in a companionable environment and to build a story together. My style tries to balance the three aspects of TTRPGs; social interaction, combat and exploration. I started playing and GMing with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st Edition, broadening to DnD5e, WFRP4e and more recently Shadowdark RPG I try to maintain a table where we laugh and enjoy ourselves, whilst leading our characters through their adventurers journey. I approach the rules as a framework that keeps us honest and consistent, and I'm open to an explanation of why you might be able to do something, subject to the roll of the dice. What you can expect from me is tricky dungeons, tough combat, laughter, puzzles and conundrums. For safety tools I use a Safety & Consent questionnaire, Lines and Veils and the X-Card. I also have an open door for any of my players to approach me out of game if things change or on reflection there is something that concerns them.
