About me
As a GM who has been running and playing TTRPG games for over 30 years, I bring experience and passion to every session. My creativity and adaptability ensure that each game is dynamic, engaging, and tailored to my players' unique actions and decisions. I pride myself on clear and effective communication, making complex rules and immersive storytelling accessible and enjoyable for everyone. My commitment to fairness and impartiality guarantees a balanced and inclusive gaming experience where all players have the opportunity to shine. Empathy and understanding are vital to me and are at the core of my GM style. I aim to foster a welcoming, relaxed environment where players feel heard and respected. While a stickler for the rules, I prioritize the "rule of cool" when necessary to create fun and memorable moments. Friendly, well-spoken, and dependable, I respect the time and commitment of my players, ensuring a laid-back yet thoroughly engaging tabletop experience. Join me at the table for a journey filled with creativity, laughs, and camaraderie, and let's make some unforgettable stories together.
GM Style
My GM style focuses on good communication, making the games accessible, and ensuring an entertaining experience. I enjoy crunchy tactical combat but also try to keep things fun and light-hearted. "Grin-dark" rather than "Grim-dark".

Nico
I've played a couple campaigns with Bert, and it goes without saying he nails the basics of GMing, he knows the rules, keeps the game moving, builds interesting encounters, and everything else. What really stands out to me though is how good he is at making sure everyone is having fun. One of the games I played with him had a wide range of player experience and he was able to get everyone having fun together seamlessly.
Dorreen
I have been a few of Bert's games and he made it really easy to get started. He provided all of the required materials and offered suggestions based on the game setting and rules. He is patient if you're new player and ask for clarification on things.
Arctic
Currently my GM for multiple games of PF2e and Dragonbane. A nice fun time all around, tolerates my dumbass trying to BS my way through just enough. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been in a few of Bert's games over the last few years, including DnD5e, PF2e and most recently, Dragonbane. Great GM, patient, respectful, runs a great campaign. Highly recommend. I'm looking forward to whatever we play next.
Saul
Great game master, ran one of the most fun games I've played in years. Highly knowledgeable in both the system and the VTT, and incredibly helpful both at and away from the table.
Joana
I have been playing in Bert's D&D and Pathfinder campaigns for over four years. Bert makes everyone feel welcomed. He is knowledgeable, kind and patient and makes every game a super fun adventure, I look forward to every week. Thanks Bert!
