About Eldritch
Hi there! I’m a Game Master with 6–7 years of experience running Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. Over the years, I’ve guided countless investigators through one shots, and long term mysteries, both for close friends and online groups via Discord and LFP communities. I specialize in creating immersive, character-driven stories that balance psychological tension, mystery, and roleplay. Whether you’re a veteran investigator or a newcomer to the system I'm more then happy to teach you from the ground up in a system I love. My sessions emphasize atmosphere, collaboration, and fun over strict rules-lawyering but at the end of the day we're here for a story so theres still a professional ettique. I’m taking the leap into professional GMing for the first time, and I’m incredibly excited (And nervous) to bring my storytelling to new players and groups. If you’re looking for a GM who loves weaving suspenseful tales, building dynamic characters, and fostering great group chemistry, I’d love to run a game for you.

I became a GM because
My journey as a GM began with Masks of Nyarlathotep. As a newcomer to Call of Cthulhu, I was completely captivated by the mystery, tension, and immersion of that campaign—it ignited a lifelong love for the system and the art of running games.
My favorite system of all Time is
Call of Cthulhu 7E was my first and remains my favorite system. I’ve always loved Lovecraft and horror media in general, and that passion and inspiration finds its way into my games.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I’m usually writing, making art, or watching or playing the latest horror media and games.
How Eldritch runs games
My GM style is heavily focused on characters, parties and NPCS- combat is important but is always more of a desert to the main dish that is the mystery and people who've found themselves in it. I love pulp Cthulhu as it allows intense action scenes to make truly epic sessions.

I prep by
Setting the mood with lighting, grabbing a drink and hyping myself up by how much horror I can put the players through
My games focus on...
My games play out like a TV show, with deep character arcs, player-driven drama, and the emotional peaks of Lovecraftian horror. Sessions often end on a cliffhanger to keep everyone eager for the next episode.
Rules are...
They're there to provide structure, but never to get in the way when a moment can be truly cinematic.
Eldritch's ideal table
My table is all about collaboration and shared storytelling. I love players who can have a laugh, make friends, and aren’t afraid to reach out after a session just to chat or share ideas. I aim to create a space where everyone feels comfortable and connected both in and out of character. Together, we will face impossible odds, uncover dark truths, and explore the true meaning of fear… all while having a great time doing it.

I love it when a player
has a character that grows changes and adapts to the narrative and has ideas for plots and growth moments
I think min/maxing...
Is fine, so long as it makes sense in character. If you're an well respected archeolgoist you can't only take combat skills, your character should feel like a realistic person but making them powerful just makes it more fun when they finally get broken and beaten by the mythos.
My perfect party mix is
Players who encourage eachotherand know how to share a spotlight to build a story together as one, Players who can have a joke and fun with eachother but when it gets serious hold hands as they plunge into the abyss together.
