About Steve

Hello, everybody! My name is Steve and I started being a Game Master about 15 years ago. Stories and characters have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. The Tabletop Roleplaying Game medium is something I have been passionate about for the past twenty years and I am excited to share that enthusiasm with a larger community. It is an amazing style of art that I am grateful to have a deep connection with. I first started playing Tabletop Roleplaying Games back in 2006, when I was introduced to the World of Darkness setting. After two years of being a player in a Vampire Campaign and a Werewolf Campaign, I ran a Vampire (Sabbat) Chronicle myself that lasted two years. Since then, I have spent more time focusing on other forms of storytelling such as writing screenplays, video games, songs and short stories. In 2022, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing for Media at Full Sail University. In October of 2024, I decided to try my hand at being a Game Master for a Dungeons and Dragons Campaign. That game is still going strong and is planned to conclude in late 2026.

How Steve runs games

My favorite part of being a Game Master is being able to offer a truly immersive experience by populating the world with unique and engaging Non-Player Characters. I believe this not only makes it better for those that like to roleplay but, it also makes it much easier for me to give the setting a pulse of its own, real stakes and consequences. When it comes to combat I utilize the same sort of approach. I make even the monsters and minions feel like the real thing by making sure their actions in battle reflect who they are, not just their hit points and armor class. I don't use too many variants on the rules as written, and I always take a vote between the players about playing with or without them in any combination.
