About me

Head firmly in the clouds! I am a long time fan of science fiction and fantasy genres, absorbing and creating as much as I can while I 'escape' from the humdrum of modernity as a graphic design professional and military veteran. I have 10 years of experience as a game master for both traditional tabletop and role-playing games, Dungeons and Dragons won me over HARD when I was first introduced as a player in 2015 and just 6 months later I was hosting my first game. Since that time I have run (and played in) several campaigns and dozens of one shots in several systems with tweaks and add-ons galore! My first love was and is Catan, I play a yearly game of Explorers and Pirates on my birthday. I used to run monthly sessions of Twilight Imperium longer than I should have, one highlight being back-to-back games over a course of 24 hours for International Tabletop Day a few years back. I try and squeeze in even more games like Dead of Winter, Firefly: The Board Game, and Star Wars: Imperial Assault in when ever we can. Happy to share a shelfie or BGG link!

GM Style

Dank dungeons drip with silence, fierce enemies lie in wait, challenges in the dark demand a response, eyebrows will be raised... I enjoy collaborating with my players to craft worlds that offer a balance of rewarding exploration, challenging combat, laughable role-play, and simpler-than-they-should-be puzzles. From horror-themed one shots that have everyone on edge to epic adventures that have the gang finally getting back together after college for a dungeon crawl, we can do it all. Players can expect a Session 0 that pads out our party dynamic and sets the stage for what is us sure to be a fond adventure!
