About me

I have been running TTRPG campaigns since 2015. Started as a player, then moved up to running a session once every couple weeks. Now I'm doing it weekly, and I can't get enough. I love to write and build worlds, and this lets me be every character I've ever written. I'm happy as the Forever DM, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my worlds with others!

GM Style

I tend to follow the Rule of Cool to a certain extent until it looks as if whatever is about to happen is neither realistic or something that character is capable of doing. My games focus more on roleplaying and having fun over lots of combat and doing math about experience gain. I'm here to give you a great world to partake in, and while I'm not good with voices, I'll try. I am all about the theater of the mind, and while some systems are great for that, others are not. I will roll with the punches and do what I can with what I have. My worlds are full of humor and lightness - save for some select few - where the intent is for laughter and fun rather than difficulty and unfairness. I avoid whatever topics may be triggers for my players. I do homebrew settings, rarely keeping with the setting provided by the source material. Long campaigns over one-shots.

The Cryptmaster provides well crafted and intricate worlds that make you want to explore. Characters are unique with a quirk or two to feel more realistic. Cool map and character designs to enhance the experience. He is very willing to work with players to create a story everyone will enjoy. Just an awesome and flexible DM with great ideas.
