About Alex

Hello my name is Alex! I am a GM with 10+ years of experience in running campaigns, modules and one-shots. After my first time playing D&D I wanted to be able to help others enjoy creating stories as a group and started GMing. I have run games for many groups and have a few home games that have been going for years.

I became a GM because

I enjoy giving players a space to get creative and imaginative. It is a way to do something with/for others that can create fun memories for all involved.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Goofy, Fair, and Helpful

How Alex runs games

I am a very adaptive GM who likes to tailor the campaign around the players' interests and their characters' stories. I work to make the sessions fun and comfortable for players of all experience levels. I like to create homebrew worlds, creatures, subclasses and items to fit the feel of the campaign. However, I am more than happy to run a module if my players are looking to enjoy a classic adventure. I am experienced in running high fantasy, steampunk, and thriller/horror games. When it comes to combat, if there are new players, I start of easier. Once I sense the players are getting familiar with the game and their characters, the gloves start coming off as I add in more difficult environments and enemy tactics.

I prep by

seeing what my players want to focus on and creating opportunities/npcs that allow they move towards their goals. I prep locations by having a general idea what an area is like and who/what would be there. I use improv to fill in the blanks in the session.

Alex's ideal table

My ideal table is players who make big moves in the story and get into who their character is and how they fit in the world. I like to give space for goofs and creativity, but make moments feel important to the plot we are creating together.
