About me
Tabletop mercenary and hired diceslinger. 🔘 Weird and unique settings 🏰 🔘Memorable NPCs 🤡 🔘Incredible combat ⚔️ 🔘Unnerving horror ☠️ My passion is the spiral up of intensity as people discover TTRPGs. I love to see the initial spark take hold when a player 'gets it', but also the gasps and silences of shock and surprise when I show an experienced player a new facet of the mechanics or story. You need a BBEG to chase? 😈 A dungeon to delve? 🏰 I'm your guy. Dad jokes? I got 'em. 🤦 Spooky settings, Oh, yes. 👻 I am currently in my fourth year podcasting, writing and editing my second series. The first was Treasures Untold. In it, the characters, settings, and stories were homebrew influenced by some of my favorite novels and stories growing up. Upcoming is an '80s eldritch horror actual play using the Candela Obscura rules set.
GM Style
Unknowingly raised as a spooky storyteller, I focus on setting immersive scenes evoking all of the senses. There were many nights around campfires hearing some pretty intense tales. Don't worry, though, my tables are safe and inclusive as a priority. We use safety tools and care for each other through the telling. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Space Truckers and Elder Gods VOD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJSTHW3OY6A&t=10s Treasures Untold Podcast: Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/treasures-untold/id1587283798 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/20tWhfCLcXRZtZycAIBnDm

Storytelling
James ran a great Candela Obscura game. I've been wanting to play Candela but am not a fan of gore, which is often a big part of the game. James created a gore-free game! He was also great at shifting the spotlight between each player character. Our group decided to split up early on, and James did a wonderful job making sure each player got their moment and bringing the group back together. He also stayed mindful of time without rushing any players through their moments. I would absolutely play a game with James again!
