About Blackwood
A former streamer at the launch of D&D 5th Edition in 2014, I went from only having played a handful of games to playing in and running hundreds of campaigns, one shots, viewer games and more! I have a deep love for new worlds and homebrew, roleplay, stakes and sandbox style play where my players can effect the world and play the story they want. But that doesn't mean that every game needs to be edge of your seat or emotionally dense, there's always time for a side quest, shenanigan's, shopping episodes and other hijinx. I'm here to match you as a player at where you're at and what you want from your game.

I got started GMing...
through streaming on Twitch around a decade ago. As we expanded shows on the channel, I was called on to sit in the GM's seat and more than 10 years later I've created worlds and realms and stories beyond counting. No seriously, my notes apps are drowning. Help.
How Blackwood runs games
My style is adaptability to the party in what is often either a homebrew story of my own design that can incorporate elements of players backstories, or to provide a sandbox filled with opportunities for the party to develop stakes in the world. Sometimes things might be Grimdark, where your actions will determine the outcome of local politics, war, faith or uprisings. Other times, players have adopted NPC's that they have vowed to help, either on epic quests, to find love or even just improving their lives. One thing that is important to me the most is to give my players a voice and the power to effect real change. In the real world, sometimes we are faced with things we cannot overcome in a great heroic moment and it can be difficult to confront those things. But through the wonder of collaborative story telling, you are free to take daring chances, risk it all and speak from your heart and let the dice ride!
Blackwood's ideal table
I deeply enjoy telling stories, roleplay and giving agency to my players to allow them to explore the world. Whether it's chasing down leads in an ongoing adventure, changing the political landscape, building a community with NPC's they're fond of or building an army to confront a great threat, I love to provide more fuel for you to play the game your way.

I am for a vibe that's...
a match for a parties driving goals. Want to explore in your own direction? Let's play in a sandbox! Want to build power? Sure! Do you want political, military, magical, social? Want to right the woes of the world? Awesome! How do we want to make things right?
If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
