About Crit Hit The Giant
As someone who started their journey with tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) not too long ago, I remember the excitement and nervousness that came with it. Having a safe, guided opportunity to play these games was something I wanted, and now I want to give back to this community by giving those same opportunities to others. In my games, we will have a Session 0 (for FREE!) to go over the technology, character creation, and safety tools. This also gives everyone a chance to connect to make sure that you feel comfortable playing with the people who joined the game. During gameplay, I explain the rules as we go through the adventure, provide suggestions on what characters can do in situations, set up epic moments to occur, bring non-player characters (NPCs) to life with voice acting and personalities, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! Overall, my games are heavy in combat, roleplay, and narrative. So if you enjoy games that have these elements, you'll enjoy my games. I look forward to being your Game Master and making TTRPGs fun for you!

I got started GMing...
When my friends and my kid wanted to learn how to play D&D. Now I really enjoy running these games for them!
When I'm not running games I'm...
making videos about TTRPGs and playing Baldur's Gate 3 or Fortnite!
How Crit Hit The Giant runs games
My GM style really boils down to a few principles. First - Being A Fan Of My Players' Characters. I love running campaigns where your characters' stories and decisions are intertwined into the campaign. I think we all have fun when you are a part of the world and impacting the story, rather than simply being in it as a passive participant. Even if we are doing a written module from the publisher, I always change or add plot points to make it about your characters. Second - Maximizing The Fun. I describe myself as "Rules As Written So We Can Make It Cool." I make sure we learn and know what the rules are before we break them. If the rules get in the way of us having fun, then that's a rule we should only hang onto loosely. I also have homebrew rules that many of my players have found enjoyable because it offers something new, different, and exciting for our games. Third - Supportive. I want to support you as a player and as a person. I am open to making your character and story work, and I try to find a solution as much as we can to make that happen. But overall, I want you to know that you as a person come first than you as a player. Overall, my games are heavy in combat, roleplay, and narrative. So if you enjoy games that have these elements, you'll enjoy my games.

I love it when a player
gets creative, thinks outside the box, and lean into the narrative for their character rather than what is the most mechanically beneficial thing to do.
