About GM Phill
Safe Table for All! 🏳️🌈🌍 In my 17 years of experience, I have crafted games inspired by Sword & Sorcery and timeless Classic Fantasy. I have had the pleasure of specializing in and running games such as I run Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, Old-School Essentials, Conan RPG (2d20 System), Forbidden Lands, Call of Cthulhu 7e, and Alien RPG. Each game session I work to make meaningful and immersive, allowing player characters to shine proactively.

I got started GMing...
I started playing Game Mastering 17 years ago. Always passionate about fantasy stories, I translated that love for fantasy literature into RPGs.
How GM Phill runs games
My tabletop style aims to challenge player characters both in terms of combat, almost always imposing high-stakes fights, as well as challenges in non-combat approaches, such as intrigue and exploration. The idea is to inject a proactive character into the game, a stage for diverse conflicts stemming from the objectives of player characters, NPCs, factions, and patrons.
GM Phill's ideal table
The general vibe is dark fantasy and sword & sorcery with moments of heroism and wonder: serious in tone, but never grim for its own sake. Combat is challenging, teamwork matters, and victories feel earned. That said, the table remains friendly, supportive, and inclusive, with space for humor and camaraderie between intense moments.
