About me

Hi there! I’ve been DMing for a long time! I first started DMing for my dad around the kitchen table. We still game together today :) I love immersive roleplay, getting into character, and telling stories together. I enjoy building mysteries, crafting strange locations, and designing moments that challenge players in fun and unique ways. But above all that? I just love playing this game with people who show up, laugh, and have fun week after week.

GM Style

I build around you. Some of us are here for jokes, epic moments, great stories, or memorable characters with heartfelt moments. My games always blend all of this together. I like to immerse the group with quick, snappy descriptions and react to everything you do. I create little challenges with believable NPCs, mysteries, and fun, dynamic combats. I do a lot of different character voices and play music. The tone and setting and story vary so much from group to group, campaign to campaign, even session to session! But there's always a space to step above table and get inspiration for making a pun, marvel at how wild of a situation is unfolding before our characters, or bring up some running joke or past moment from the game. Then we jump back in!
