About me
I’m less of a Game Master, and more of a Story Keeper. I love seeing what tales we and the dice can create together. I feel like that’s what makes TTRPGs so much fun. We are all sitting down and making a story. My role at the table will always be to make sure everyone is having fun and feels empowered to help craft the narrative. If I'm the only one having fun or any impact on the narrative, then I have failed the story and the table. My fondest TTRPG memories are the ones where my character felt real, and the world felt alive. That's what I strive to create for other people. A table where I can keep the story safe that we are all making together.
GM Style
I love roleplaying and characters having stakes in the world. Lore and World Building are my jam. Whether it is for a mini arc, or a longer campaign, I want the player and the character to have buy in to the story we are making. That can be through backstory or character choices. I work to make sure people are comfortable at my table. This means open conversations about themes and boundaries before a single dice is rolled. The rules are there to be a guide, if you make a compelling argument and it serves the story that we are all telling, then I'll make it work. Whether this is your first game or your 100th I want you to feel heard. Combat can go a lot of different way based off system and tone of the table, but I enjoy mixing things up. I promise regardless of system no two combats will feel the same.
