About me

Hi. My name is Derrick and I love role-playing games. I am a Player and a Storyteller with over 40 years of experience. Starting with the with the Red Box Basic D&D set, I have explored a huge list of systems and settings from the space lanes of Traveller to the lightning rails of Eberron to the deepest mysteries of the World of Darkness. I have built worlds around campaigns and campaigns around worlds that I have built and it still excites me to explore what each story has to offer. How would you like an Adventure of your own? Are you tired of being an accessory to someone else's Story? Forced to watch as the main character of the book or video gets all the glory? Me too!! You deserve to be a part of that world and I'm the sort of storyteller that wants to make that happen. I do my best to "Yes, and..." your ideas within the reality of our setting but I'm not afraid to expose you to the consequences of your actions. Some of the most fun and memorable moments in role-playing are a direct result of some epic failure. Which is to say that character growth is a priority for me. When running a game I follow two major guidelines: The Rule of Cool and Wheaton's Law. So please join me, Sir Derrick Gregoire, Imperial Storyteller and Knight of Flowers, on our next adventure!

I've been playing in Derrick's games for over 20 years, in a wide range of games. He's an amazing world builder and scene setter, is detail-oriented and versatile, and good at dealing with the unexpected (because you know how good we players are at throwing wrenches into a plot). I don't think I've ever played one of his games that didn't make me look forward to the next one.

I have always enjoyed the emersive stories he can tell and the way he includes players' creativity to evolve throughout the arc of the story. Never a dull moment. Always a satisfying player experience.
